Device for handling notes of value, having at least one cassette receiving region, in which a notes-of-value cassette (16a to 16d) for storing notes of value is received, and having a feeding module for feeding notes of value to a notes-of-value receiving region of the notes-of-value cassette (16a to 16d) for receiving notes of value, wherein the notes of value can be received in the notes-of-value receiving region in the form of a notes-of-value stack, wherein the feeding module comprises a feeding region for feeding notes of value to the notes-of-value receiving region, and wherein the feeding module comprises at least one retaining element, which, in a retaining position, contacts the note of value arranged at the front side, facing the feeding region, of the notes-of-value stack and keeps the notes-of-value stack in the notes-of-value receiving region and which, in a feeding position, is arranged in such a way that at least one note of value arranged in the feeding region can be fed to the notes-of-value stack, wherein the feeding module comprises at least one further retaining element, which, in a retaining position, contacts the note of value arranged at the front side, facing the feeding region, of the notes-of-value stack and keeps the notes-of-value stack in the notes-of-value receiving region and which, in a feeding position, is arranged in such a way that at least one note of value arranged in the feeding region can be fed to the notes-of-value stack, wherein, with the aid of a movement unit, the retaining element can be moved along a movement path obliquely in relation to the stacking direction, in which a note of value to be fed to the notes-of-value stack is fed to the notes-of-value stack, from the retaining position into the feeding position and from the feeding position into the retaining position in such a way that the notes-of-value stack present in the notes-of-value cassette (16a to 16d) is not moved any further in the stacking direction by the movement of the retaining element, wherein the further retaining element is moved along a further movement path obliquely in relation to the stacking direction from the retaining position into the feeding position and from the feeding position into the retaining position in such a way that the notes-of-value stack present in the notes-of-value cassette (16a to 16d) is not moved any further in the stacking direction by the movement of the retaining element, wherein the feeding module has a feeding element for feeding at least one note of value arranged in the feeding region to the notes-of-value stack, and in that a feeding-element drive unit is provided, which moves the feeding element for feeding the at least one note of value arranged in the feeding region translationally in the stacking direction and presses against a note of value to be fed, wherein the feeding-element drive unit the feeding element is thereby moved in the direction of the stacking direction only until the contact surface of the feeding element that contacts the surface of the note of value facing away from the notes-of-value receiving region during the feeding is arranged in the contact plane in which the retaining element and the front note of value, facing the feeding region, of the notes-of-value stack received in the notes-of-value receiving region are in contact when the retaining element is arranged in the retaining position, characterized in that the retaining elements (1008, 1010) are respectively mounted in a guiding slot (1024, 1026), which predefines the respective movement path and guides the respective retaining element (1008, 1010) while it is being moved.
