1960s: Beginning
of the computer age
The computers enabled bank employees to process
checks in a faction of a second as well as access
customer information saved in databases. This modern
machinery included magnetic reel to reel tape and an
automatic typewriter, among other space-age tools, and
processed 30,000 transactions in three-to-four hours of
computing time. This film provides an illuminating view of
the early days of electronic banking.
Since then, banking has experience a number of
revolutions. Check clearing has evolved into an
increasingly electronic format with the introduction of
check clearing for the 21st Century Act. Most checks are
now presented to financial institutions as electronic
images, changing the way that the majority of checks
are processed.

Rethinking Banking
Banks are exploring how emerging technologies and
insights into human behavior can transform the
customers’ experience and elevate the role of the bank in
their financial lives. Banks seek to invent new ways to
anticipate the needs and desires of customers down to
the level of the individual to put every customer in total
control of his or her own financial future, to rethink the
experience of customer-bank interaction as visual and
physical reality become increasingly intertwined, and
finally to leverage the unique position of a bank to make
people’s lives simpler and more fulfilling.
