ATMs worldwide - a #Visualization
Surprisingly, Brazil and Russia have the most ATMs per person, w/ Brazil having the most ATMs of any country.
And then, of course, there are any number of countries where ATMs barely exist.
As they put it
If you're unsure what an ATM is, there are three possible reasons why:
1) you're from one of the 66 countries where there still aren't any
2) you didn't know that it stands for Automated Teller Machine
3) you're from one of the countries where these devices are known as ABMs (Automated Banking Machine) cash machines, cashpoints or holes in the wall
Having 3 ATMs for every 1,000 adults though Moldova tops the street banking list in per capita terms. It's also the country to have experienced the most dramatic change in its ATM supply - as recently as 2004 it had one tenth the number it does now. Russia has also experienced a dramatic change with 1.5 ATMs per 1,000 people in 2011 compared to just 0.2 per 1,000 in 2004.
