Why did banks need an automated cash machine solution in the 1960s?
Because banks were closed on weekends
Because paper banknotes were being replaced by digital coins
Because banks were only open until 3:30 p.m.
Because banks would take a big interest for each transaction
Why do we use a four-digit PIN today instead of a six-figure number?
That was about the year of each person's birth
The bank's computer system could not process six figures
Shepherd-Barron's wife could only remember four digits
A four-digit number was safer against bank frauds
