1980 Press Photo Automated Teller Machine, Mountain Brook supermarket, Alabama

Birmingham, Alabama Banks: Automated Tellers. With federal deregulation of banking, financial institutions will be looking for efficient ways to attract new customers. Automated Tellers like this one in a Mountain Brook supermarket are expected to become commonplace. Higher interest rates coming for depositors in 1981 means institutions will be faced with higher costs doing business. Electronic banking helps them save money, and it is more convenient for customers.
