Christmas is a reminder that another year is coming to a close. I can still recall the times when the collision of the stat holidays and weekends from Christmas day into the new year meant cash needed to be stacked in the wallet to last days on end (no eftpos or credit cards - just cash or cheques). Then ATMs came along - but when? My memory is that the first ATM network in NZ was the Anytime network circa 1982 (hosted by Challenge Computers). This was followed by a network (the name of which I cannot recall) hosted by Databank.
I have tried in vain to find historical records around the deployment of ATMs in NZ. Is there anyone on Geekzone as old as I am that can help out on when ATMs (and eftpos for that matter) were deployed in NZ?
