  • The first ATM I used was with Rainier Bank in 1978 in Bremerton, WA. It was so unreliable that I had to have a backup plan if I really needed money -- it was no better than a 50/50 shot of getting cash.

    There was only the one machine, of course, and that was long before they were networked so that you could go to another bank's machine. So if you got lucky late at night, you could get the green stuff. Otherwise, it was borrow from a friend.

    I also seem to recall a little plastic cash holder that the money cam
  • I read years ago, I think in scholostic or something, that they called them "bank robots".
    I never found much of that phrase around though.
    Anyone else hear that?
  • So, who owns what might be considered the primary/essential/basic/etc. patent(s) for ATMs? NCR?

    I ask b/c I once worked with an inventor who showed me blueprints and a bona fide patent for what he considered to be (one of?) the first ATM(s).

  • The ATMS (or ABMs) in North America at least are painfully limited compared the the ATMS in Japan.

    Back in the early 90's even I was able to:

    - Deposit and withdraw any amount down to units of 10 yen. Obviously coins as well as bills.
    - Carry out electronic transfers to any payee at any other bank. (Transferred the down payment on my car to the Toyota dealership this way)
    - Update bank books. (Common now, but it took until 5 years ago for my local ATMs to be able to do this.
