What do you think about ATMs?

As 2010 draws to a close, it is once again time to reflect on a year passed and to look ahead with anticipation, excitement or trepidation to the next. One thing seems pretty certain.....self service terminals, including ATMs are becoming more and more part of our lives. There are now over 2 million ATMs globally and the number is set to keep increasing as growth blossoms in less developed parts of the world.

Yet do we take them foregranted? The European ATM Security Team (EAST) runs regular online research polls to catch the views of all ATM users. These are just snapshots, but they do have a part to play in influencing the players in the industry. Visit the EAST Research Page to take the current poll and to download the results of past polls.
