It's World ATM Day! We are incredibly proud to serve and partner with Barclays on implementing innovative technologies and driving the industry forward. #atmindustry #atms #bankinginnovation #bankingtechnology
Today is World ATM Day! On this day in 1967, Barclays installed the worlds first ATM in Enfield Town in London. ATMs went on to transform retail banking in the 20th century. They altered the way banks thought about how financial services could be delivered and changed the public’s attitude to finance at the same time. For banks it demonstrated that financial services could be delivered outside traditional branches, arguably paving the way for online and mobile banking. It changed the way we thought about finance: for the first time allowing us to buy things without the need to plan ahead. The ATM was invented by John Shepherd-Barron, who admitted (as his son James reflected in his definitive book ‘Hole in The Wall – The Story of the Cash Machine’) that it ‘simply couldn’t have been done without the engineers at De La Rue and the bankers at Barclays’. Since that day 57 years ago, the rise of the ATM has been staggering. $13 billion is still withdrawn from ATMs every day across the world. There are now over 3 million ATMs installed - more than the number of mobile apps available in the major App Stores. And at Barclays we continue to innovate – we were the first UK Bank to deploy talking ATMs, cash recycling ATMs and cardless ATMs. And we are now refreshing our estate with multifunctional ATM which allow you to carry out most of your day-to-day transactions on a single device. Whilst the role of the ATM will continue to evolve with society, it will also continue to play a significant role in the global banking ecosystem. So on ATM day, let’s remember the bankers at Barclays, the engineers at De La Rue and John Shepherd-Barron, who all played their part in making it possible! #Barclays #ATM #banking
