New Opportunities for the ATM - The First Self-Service Device Emerges As An Innovative Distribution Channel

The ATM was the first financial self-service device when introduced in 1967 as a cash dispenser and a few short years later as a total automated teller that also accepted deposits.  It took a generation of life of users who appreciated the time and place convenience value that enabled the ATM to flourish and become one of the most essential and sustainable elements of everyday living. After forty years of faithful service, the ATM still stands – mainly as a cash dispenser for 80 percent of its transactions. In recent years, consumers have come to rely less on cash as a payment vehicle and ATM volume has declined significantly.  At the same time, consumer demand is growing for more time and place convenience financial services. Hence, the ATM is transitioning to dispense other forms of value media like gift cards, transit passes, and event tickets while incorporating advancements in deposit taking.  Entrenched consumer reliance and operational familiarity with the ATM, along with its expanded value dispensing capabilities, promises to sustain the ATM as the premier financial self-service device for many more years to come as multifunctional financial service kiosks grow their own generation of acceptors and users.

Speaker:   Tom Honey, Director of Marketing & Business Development - Better ATM Services
