    Automated teller machine "Cash machine" Smaller indoor ATMs dispense money inside convenience stores and other busy areas, such as this off-premise Wincor Nixdorf mono-function ATM in Sweden. An automated teller machine (ATM) is a computerized telecommunications device that provides the customers of a financial institution with access to financial transactions in a public space without the need for a human clerk or bank teller. On most modern ATMs, the customer is identified by inserting a plastic ATM card with a magnetic stripe or a plastic smartcard with a chip, that contains a unique card number and some security information, such as an expiration date or CVVC (CVV). Security is provided by the customer entering a personal identification number (PIN). Using an ATM, customers can access their bank accounts in order to make cash withdrawals (or credit card cash advances) and check their account balances as well as purchasing mobile cell phone prepaid credit. ATMs are known by various other names including automated transaction machine,[1] automated banking machine, money machine, bank machine, cash machine, hole-in-the-wall, cashpoint, Bancomat (in various countries in Europe and Russia), Multibanco (after a registered trade mark, in Portugal), and Any Time Money (in India).

    American Journal of Applied Mathematics and Statistics, 2014, Vol. 2, No. 1, 40-46 Available online at http://pubs.sciepub.com/ajams/2/1/7 © Science and Education Publishing DOI:10.12691/ajams-2-1-7 Effects of Automated Teller Machine on the Performance of Nigerian Banks Jegede C.A.* Department of Accounting and finance, Lagos State University, Ojo, Nigeria *Corresponding author: [email protected] Received August 07, 2013; Revised August 24, 2013; Accepted February 07, 2014 Abstract This study investigates the effects of ATM on the performance of Nigerian banks. Available studies have concentrated on the significant dimensions of ATM (automated teller machine) service quality and its effect on customer satisfaction with a bias against ATM producers. The study is motivated by the astronomical challenges confronting the proliferation of ATM infrastructure and attendant financial losss to banks which are often under- reported. Also, there are serious debate on the relevance of ATM technology as most countries in the world are moving away from the virus technology to the more secured chip cards free of credit and debit frauds. Questionnaire was used to collect the data from a convenience sample of 125 employees of five selected banks in Lagos State with interswitch network. Therefore, data collected through the questionnaire were analyzed statistically by using the Software Package for Social Science (SPSS Version 20.0 for Student Version) and chi-square technique. The results indicate that less than the benefits, the deployment of ATMs terminals have averagely improved the performance of Nigerian banks because of the alarming rate of ATM fraud.

  • When Collaboration Makes Sense – and When It Doesn’T
    When Collaboration Makes Sense – And When It Doesn’t By Eric Grover Digital Transactions September 30, 2018 Through the years, the network game hasn’t changed. Payment systems need volume, and that means interoperability with other networks. The key is to be smart about it. The payments world is a patchwork of overlapping and interdependent networks. For success, networks need a path or paths to critical mass. For most, leveraging directly competitive and adjacent systems is essential. In payments, network effects and habit matter enormously. The most feature-rich, secure, or cheapest payment system in the world is worthless if only one consumer or business uses it. By contrast, systems with billions of users are compelling, notwithstanding imperfections. To boost usage, networks partner, often ceding some control and economics. In free-market capitalism, no relationship, however one-sided, is consummated unless both parties calculate that they’ll profit. But payment-system relationships evolve based on changing relative power and interests. For example, imagine a world where 50% of Mastercard transactions were initiated over Apple Pay. Those able to shift payments share command better economics, so, at a minimum, Apple would take a bigger bite of interchange. While there are hundreds of national retail-payment schemes, only a handful of systems are or aspire to be global. Mastercard and Visa are the only genuinely planetwide retail-payment systems. They command the lion’s share of cross-border retail payments in every country except China, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, and the part of Ukraine occupied by Russia. Their open model leveraging tens of thousands of banks to deliver payments to end users has been the most successful payments-system strategy ever.

Electronic money has the potential to take over from cash as the primary means of making small-value payments and could make such transactions easier and cheaper for both consumers and merchants. However, it also raises policy issues for central banks because of the possible implications for central banks’ revenues, their implementation of monetary policy and their payment system oversight role. Having considered these issues, the G10 central bank governors announced in 1996 that they intended to monitor closely the evolution of electronic money schemes and, while respecting competition and innovation, to take any appropriate action if necessary. Since then the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), through the Secretariat to the Committee on Payment and Settlement Systems (CPSS) and with the invaluable help of central banks worldwide, has been regularly surveying electronic money developments. The main focus of this exercise has been to ensure that central banks have adequate information to monitor the growth of electronic money and to assess its possible consequences. However, given the widespread interest in this new means of making payments, the CPSS has now decided to also make this report on electronic money developments publicly available.
