And then-40-year old businessman Donald Wetzel went bank to withdraw money and he saw that hundreds of people are already in line for withdrawing money from bank. It was already evening 5 o'clock as he is already late. Then after sometime thought of automated machine came in his mind that could even work faster than human and even that could work 24*7 without taking rest. And then he said to himself " bank need not to be open , customers could get money 24 hours , seven days a week." And then he yield the idea of Automated Teller Machine, today known as ATM. It took him 11 months for the creation of ATM machine and the first ATM machine was launch on september 2, 1969 at chemical bank branch in Rockville center.
