The ATM Appreciation Society MANIFESTO

WE THE PEOPLE, being of inestimable character and public usefulness, and being members of that honourable and just society that so appreciates the Automated Teller Machine (Cash Machine) and all its works, and wishing to form a more PERFECT understanding, promote the general BENEFIT to society, protect the inalienable right of equal access to cash for all, and secure the Blessings of LIBERTY to ourselves and our POSTERITY in pursuit of full financial Inclusion, do ordain and establish the following:


  • Recognising the risks of a cashless society
  • Knowing the history and value of physical currency (cash)
  • Understanding the role played by the ATM in society
  • Aware of the role played by the ATM when responding to disaster
  • And realising the benefits of financial inclusion for all


AND BELIEVE:

                   

ATMs are unjustly ignored, and that life would be more of a pain than it already is if they weren’t everywhere, and we didn’t have access to them every day

 

ATMs are financial poetry, and should be universally accessible to all regardless of faith, colour, creed, caste, stature, sexual orientation, mobile phone ownership, bank account status, creditworthiness, or any other discriminator

 

The ‘cashless society’ mentality should be contested wherever it is found on the basis that no-one has the right to artificially constrain our inalienable right to choose the payment option most appropriate to our circumstances and that all people should be enabled to overcome crises with dignity through exercising our right to self-determination

 

In the obligation not to enrich private enterprise disproportionately at the expense of the poorest in society 

 

Access to ATMs, being the ultimate expression of freedom, choice, and financial independence, is fundamental to reducing poverty worldwide, REDUCING DISASTER RISK and ENHANCING FINANCIAL INCLUSION  

 

And so we say to all who listen, but cannot hear:


Look up. Lean in. Marvel at financial technology. Don’t take the ATM for granted. And remind yourself that a cashless society is no society at all.
