1. A system for transforming an entity device to a multi-functional device via a remote communication link, the system comprising:
a memory device with computer-readable program code stored thereon;
a communication device; and
a processing device operatively coupled to the memory device and the communication device, wherein the processing device is configured to execute the computer-readable program code to:
receive an interaction request from an associate, via an associate device,
wherein the interaction request is associated with a user;
authenticate the associate using the associate device;
in response to authenticating the associate, establish a remote communication link between the associate device and the entity device;
receive an activation request from the associate to activate the entity device, via the associate device and the remote communication link;
in response to receiving the activation request, activate the entity device and cause the entity device to physically transform to the multi-functional device capable of receiving or disbursing special resources, wherein the special resources comprise coins, cashier's check, and foreign currency;
cause a control system of the entity device to activate a special resource storage module of the entity device and extract the special resources associated with the interaction request from the special resource storage module; and
cause the control system of the entity device to activate a special resource dispenser of the entity device to dispense the special resources extracted from the special resource storage module associated with the interaction request.
