@Morgan_C_Ross I didn’t know they had debit cards way back in the 1970s?
@Morgan_C_Ross Nice to hear Uncle Knowlty and Joe's voices again :)
@Morgan_C_Ross The first ATMs I remember were Canada Trust's "JohnnyCash" machines, a deal made by Johnny's London, Ontario-based manager Saul Holiff. dailymotion.com/video/x5ch37
@Morgan_C_Ross Very interesting piece on the debit card—in France no less in 1979! My friend John explained to me the concept he was pushing for the bank that hired him when he graduated from Bishop’s in 1967: selling retail stores to accept credit cards. What was in it for them I asked…
@Morgan_C_Ross Why is that man putting gas in his trunk? 😆
