re2 economist suntribune january 15 1986 banking and you abms have revolutionized banking by tony engel automated banking machines abms have revolutionized the way we do our banking and we have only just begun to feel its impact on our lives during the next few years more and more people will use abms to perform most of their daytoday banking trans actions not only will customers have around the clock access to more machines at more locations reducing lineups in branches and at abms but tellercounter service will improve as staff time is freed up from routine tasks customers will also be able to take advantage of shared networks such as the interac network allowing them to make cash withdrawals and obtain cash advances from an abm regard less of where they bank today there are over 3000 abms operating in canada which has the potential for more than twice that num ber td bank for example has about 500 abms called green machines at key locations throughout canada each machine is connected with the banks main computer so you can do all your personal banking at any one of them regardless of whether your home branch has its own abm in most cases customer service offic ers also work on the same site and can help you open an account demonstrate the machine and give you information on other bank services many of tds green machines have been installed at wheelchair height and are equipped with braille plates for customers with impaired vision at least 90 per cent of our daily bank ing needs consist of transactions that can be done at abms deposits with drawals determining available funds paying bills and making transfers be tween accounts use of abms has grown at an unbe lievable pace as increasing numbers of consumers discover their banking needs can be handled by abms for example in december 1985 over remax international announcement toni sullivan associate broker we are pleased to announce that toni sullivan of remax east realty ltd serving markham and unionville has for the second year in a row achieved the top producers sales award with 9 years of dedication and professional ism to both clients and fellow real tors tonis success is a credit to her self and to the remax organization congratulations toni toni can be reached by calling 2919988 three million transactions were made on green machines alone while there have been many adv ances and improvements in abms over the last few years whats coming in the next few months will be a great boon to consumers canadas five largest char tered banks royal bank bank of montreal canadian imperial bank of commerce toronto dominion bank of nova scotia as well as the caisses populaires desjardins in quebec cana da trust national bank and confedera tion of credit unions have agreed to share their abms through a national abm network called interac associa tion for example you will be able to use your td green card with green machine access to withdraw cash at a designated bank of nova scotia cash stop machine locations throughout canada that are part of the interac sys tem will be easily identified with decals showing they belong to the interac net- work eventually the shared abm network will go worldwide allowing customers to withdraw cash from their accounts anywhere in the world as an example if you are on a vacation in florida or on a business trip to rome you would be able to withdraw cash from an abm while your account in canada is auto matically debited for some time now the financial ser vices industry has been meeting the challenge of providing more and better services
