Burns, EH.Net *
Few technologies have done as much as the ATM to promote consumer convenience, advance financial inclusion, and grease the wheels of commerce. As a leading authority on the role ATMs have played in in the financial services sector, and how they helped pave the way for digital banking, Bernardo Batiz-Lazo advances our understanding of this vital technology. * William (Bill) Nuti, Chairman and CEO, NCR Corporation, US *
By empowering bank customers to use sophisticated but simple-to-use self-service technology to access their bank accounts and cash outside the branch and its limited hours, the ATM revolutionised not just banking but the way we live today. The world's number one ATM historian has penned a definitive account of the rise of the ATM to its current pre-eminence as an indispensable retail bank channel. Cash and Dash: How ATMs and Computers Changed Banking satisfies the highest academic standards of objectivity while narrating a complex global story of technological evolution in human, cultural terms. This is the bible of ATM history for scholars, business leaders, technophiles and savvy consumers. * Michael Lee, CEO, ATM Industry Association and author of Codebreaking our Future: Deciphering our futures hidden order *
