Learn the full potential of your local ATM
Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) are a widely-used banking technology people don’t even consider something special anymore. However, when the first ATM was invented, it was one of the key components that pushed the banking industry to become the client-oriented sphere we all know and love today.
Not to mention, ATMs have far more features than just money withdrawals and balance checking. You can learn about all of them, as well as find out how Genome’s cards are compatible with ATMs, in our dedicated article.
Explore various money transfer options
It is truly incredible how many money transfer options exist nowadays, all having their benefits and conditions for use. In November, our team decided to remind you about some of them.
For instance, BACS payments are a key part of the UK’s banking system, facilitating secure and reliable bank-to-bank transfers. Thanks to its cost-effectiveness and reliability, this method is widely used for regular payments like salaries, benefits, and invoices.
Meanwhile, ACH transfers are a signature domestic payment method in the US. These are efficient and secure, commonly used for payroll deposits, recurring bill payments, and government benefits like social security.
And, of course, our team could not ignore the SEPA-related payments – SEPA Direct Debit transfers. This payment method is tailored for automating recurring euro payments across the EU and even has two variations for individuals and businesses.
While we are on the topic of money transfers, why not remind yourself what BIC/SWIFT codes are in case you want to send an international transfer?
