27 June is World ATM Day. Did
you know that the world's smallest ATM is on a Bagel stall in New York City,
while the 'wettest' is in County Cork, Ireland? On June 27th, 1967, the world's
first semi-automated cash dispenser was introduced by Barclays Bank in North
London. Today, there are more than 3.2 million ATM - Automated Teller Machine.
The son of the ATM's 'inventor', James Shepherd-Barron, founded The ATM Appreciation
Society to draw attention to how crucial and indispensable ATMs are in our
daily lives and their pivotal role in reducing disaster risk and enhancing
financial inclusion.
