The new smartphone technology allows for speedier and more secure transactions. For instance, authenticating on the handset reduces the time spent at the ATM to around 10 seconds instead of the typical 30 to 40 seconds. Wells Fargo, Bank of America and Chase already start deploying the new ATMs. Over the next 18 months, 80,000 machines in North America will be in operation.” (globalpost.com)
