(WIKIPEDIA, THE FREE ENCYCLOPAEDIC WEBSITE) Another name for it is machine.

In order to cut costs and increase operational efficiency, banks in industrialized countries have been spending more and more in information technology (IT) during the past ten years. In order to ascertain the goals and degree of success of information technology implementations in the industry, a study of the application of information technology in Nigerian banks was conducted.The information was gathered through a survey of randomly chosen Skye Banks branches in Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial metropolis. Nearly all of the banks had an information Nigeria policy, the major focus of which was to accomplish complete application goals in order to gain competitive advantages and be ready. Only 565.6% of these were really implemented successfully in some way. Only a small percentage of banks really saw the anticipated return on their IT investments.

Less than 40% of banks were consequently prepared to fully utilize IT through significant investment, particularly in online access and transactions, electronic commerce, and electronic publication. At least 60% of Bank locations are reportedly spending less than $150,000 a year on information technology (IT).

In light of these, Nigerian banks are currently implementing automated teller machines (ATM) as a kind of teller service because they are a long-term, cost-effective solution.

Less than two years after ATM usage was welcomed by bank clients, the help is gradually evolving into yet another spectacular exhibition of annoyance. And the issue of cash/card withdrawal is no longer just a theoretical one. The issue indicated for this project effort, on the other hand, is the use of Personal Identification Number Codes (PIN Codes) by others. As a result, the danger that the bank or consumer might run is reduced. Thus, the research project is prepared to investigate the potential impact that A TM technology may have on Nigerian banks, particularly in light of the numerous scams that are now connected to A TM technology.
