I really dig the new finance angle that's going with ss13.
I think adding in these new features in an atm would add to that.
Pay Fine
Security may slap on a small fine via pda for small time crime, their discretion. Player has 5~ minutes to pay that fine or beepsky will target you, stun you, and then move on like a unforgiving bastard that he is. Already in place would be the pda device that alarms you when beepsky arrests, so you can listen and be smug that crime doesn't pay.
And yes, this would make a security pda a bit more coveted, security and others alike
Medical Insurance
Let doctors set prices for medbots via medbay computer, so that they only target people who paid it. You can pay for medical insurance via atm. Doctors would be immune from medical insurance, it'd be nice to see them make a profit and be more valued for someone who hasn't payed for insurance.
After Care™
Taken from cogs idea at the genetics discussion, insurance would be paid for via atm. Who would price the insurance? HoP/Captain/Geneticists do. I'm not too sure but some of it should go towards station funding, and then geneticists should take a slice, because hey!, it's work for them.
Geneticists could turn very sinister, money hoarding scientists. Someone rushes in, dragging dead dude, geneticists refuse to clone due to insurance, said person uses his insurance to pay to clone dude, etc.
