The Best of LinkedIn: Changing ATM Models, Understanding Currency and Digital Inclusion

LinkedIn clings on to its business usefulness despite starting to look like 'social media'. Within interest communities, such as people and organisations interested in cash and payments, there continue to be posts that make you think. Here are three diverse posts that fit that bill.

José Rincón Rodríguez, who works for the Global Exchange Group, wrote about the move to shared 'utility' model ATM networks. He started by discussing the decision of Swedbank in December 2024 to sell its entire ATM network, 1,141 machines across Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, to Euronet. Swedbank customers still see the same interface and the same branding, but Swedbank doesn't own the machines or any part of the infrastructure behind it anymore.
