ATM Cards In Nigeria

Today, we want to look at what ATM is all about and its uses; I found some explanations from one of the issueing banks in Nigeria, Zenith Bank.

ATM means Automatic Teller Machine. An ATM a machine that dispenses cash to account holders oraccepts cash deposits. The transaction is initiated and concluded with the use of a magnetic stripe card or smart card.

The ATM card has either a magnetic stripe or a processor (or chip) that allows data or information to be stored or processed in it. ATMs are a quick and convenient way to access money in your accounts.

The benefits of the ATM
24-hour access to accounts.
Transfer of funds
Balance enquiries
Printing of mini statements and account statements.
Cash withdrawals, e.t.c.
