Today in history
On this day in 1969, America’s first automatic teller machine (ATM) makes its public debut, dispensing cash to customers at Chemical Bank in Rockville Center, N.Y.
ATMs went on to revolutionize the banking industry, eliminating the need to visit a bank to conduct basic financial transactions.
