card terminals, allowing merchants large and small to accept debit card for
purchases without incurring the cost of additional hardware.
• By transforming a credit card terminal, UAN created the first cashless ATM
machine
in 1991 for use by smaller businesses seeking the convenience of an ATM without
the cash-loading and security requirements.
• In 1998 Lipman introduced a new all-in-one credit card terminal, which UAN
converted into a cashless ATM machine. Extremely well-received by small
merchants and bars, businesses saw up to 300% increases in average ticket
sales!
• The world’s first drive-thru ATM was manufactured by UAN
in 2000, allowing customers to use debit cards for quick electronic purchases.
