A banknote deposit and withdrawal device comprising: a verification section that verifies banknotes inserted through a service aperture for performing a transaction of banknotes with a user; a serial number acquisition section that acquires serial numbers of the banknotes; a control section that controls conveyance of the banknotes in the device; and a memory section that, for each of one or a plurality of a storage cassette in which the banknotes are stored in the device, memorizes the serial numbers of banknotes stored in the storage cassette and memorizes a storage sequence of the banknotes as administration information; wherein the control section conveys a banknote to a corresponding storage cassette, on the basis of a result of verification, and records the serial number of the banknote and the storage sequence of the banknote in the storage cassette in the memory section as administration information; wherein the control section detects, with the verification section, whether there is a defect in conveyance of the banknotes, in a case in which banknotes that have been inserted through the service aperture in a current transaction that have been stored in the storage cassette are conveyed to the service aperture in accordance with a request for return of the banknotes of the current transaction; wherein the control section acquires, one at a time, the serial numbers of the banknotes conveyed from the storage cassette to the service aperture and, in accordance with the administration information, conveys only the banknotes of the current transaction to the service aperture, in a case in which a defect in conveyance of the banknotes is detected by the verification section; wherein in a case in which the control section detects that banknotes have been brought out together, when banknotes of the current transaction that have been stored in the storage cassette are conveyed to the service aperture in accordance with a request for return of the banknotes of the current transaction; and wherein the control section acquires the serial numbers of the banknotes by conveying the banknotes from the service aperture one at a time, determines if the banknotes are the banknotes of the current transaction based on the acquired serial numbers, and conveys the banknotes that have been determined as being the banknotes of the current transaction back to the service aperture and conveys the banknotes that have been determined as not being banknotes of the current transaction to the storage cassette, based on the determination.
