People no longer had to deal with "bankers hours", only open when people were at work, tellers on lunch break which was the only time when customers who worked could go to the bank, never open on weekends and never open past the regular workday. The kind of customer service typical of an industry with a captive customer base.
All banks were quick to adopt the new technology as any late or non-adopters would be left in the dust Banks were also quick to adopt internet services for the same reason. Still haven't budged from bankers hours though. -
I remember when cash machines came to NYC in the early '70s. Except back then they didn't hold all that much money and it was always a race on weekends to make sure you got to the machine before it was drained. Usually by Sunday the cash machine was empty.Originally posted by Rust View Post
What used to make me crazy is when different banks gave out different denominations of cash. Citibank gave it out in $50s while Chemical/Chase in $20s. Most businesses didn't want to deal with $50 bills.Myles B. Astor, PhD, Administrator

I used to work for NCR, the worlds largest manufacturer of ATM's. In the 80's and 90's global ATM production was out of Aberdeen, Scotland.
Greatest invention ever? The Wheel

Think the guys who invented the ATM machine made out far better financially than the other two. Read years ago - and don't know if true - they get a fee for every transaction. Kind of like that villain Richard Pryor played in Superman III.Originally posted by JCOConnell View PostMyles B. Astor, PhD, Administrator

Scotiabank has a policy (you have to ask for it though) that at age 59 gives you free banking. No more monthly fees, UNLIMITED debit card usage, no-fee chequebooks. I've been living in an almost cashless society since then.
Perhaps not the greatest invention, but the Gutenberg printing press ranks right up there.
