=== Propagation === Devices designed by British (i.e. Chubb, De La Rue) and Swedish (i.e. Asea Meteor) manufacturers quickly spread out. For example, given its link with [[Barclays]], [[Bank of Scotland]] deployed a DACS in 1968 under the 'Scotcash' brand.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Our Heritage |url=https://www.lloydsbankinggroup.com/who-we-are/our-heritage.html |access-date=2023-04-10 |website=www.lloydsbankinggroup.com |language=en}}</ref> Customers were given personal code numbers to activate the machines, similar to the modern PIN. They were also supplied with £10 vouchers. These were fed into the machine, and the corresponding amount debited from the customer's account. A Chubb-made ATM appeared in [[Sydney]] in 1969. This was the first ATM installed in Australia. The machine only dispensed $25 at a time and the bank card itself would be mailed to the user after the bank had processed the withdrawal. [[File:ABC ATMs.ogv|thumb|1969 [[Australian Broadcasting Corporation|ABC]] news report on the introduction of ATMs in [[Sydney, Australia]]. People could only receive [[Australian dollar|AUS $]]25 at a time and the bank card was sent back to the user at a later date. This was a Chubb machine.]] Asea Metior's Bancomat was the first ATM installed in Spain on 9 January 1969, in central [[Madrid]] by [[Banesto]]. This device dispensed 1,000 [[Spanish peseta|peseta]] bills (1 to 5 max). Each user had to introduce a security personal key using a combination of the ten numeric buttons.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://hemeroteca.abc.es/nav/Navigate.exe/hemeroteca/madrid/abc/1969/01/09/048.html | title = Bancomat (In Spanish) | author = Marino Gomez-Santos | publisher = ABC | date = 9 January 1969 | url-status = live | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140811221708/http://hemeroteca.abc.es/nav/Navigate.exe/hemeroteca/madrid/abc/1969/01/09/048.html | archive-date = 11 August 2014 }}</ref> In March of the same year an ad with the instructions to use the Bancomat was published in the same newspaper.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://hemeroteca.abc.es/nav/Navigate.exe/hemeroteca/madrid/abc/1969/03/18/058.html | title = Bancomat Banesto (commercial ad with instructions for use in Spanish) | publisher = ABC | date = 18 March 1969 | url-status = live | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140811221714/http://hemeroteca.abc.es/nav/Navigate.exe/hemeroteca/madrid/abc/1969/03/18/058.html | archive-date = 11 August 2014 }}</ref> In [[West Germany]], the first ATM was installed in the 50,000-people university city of [[Tübingen]] on May 27, 1968, by Kreissparkasse Tübingen. It was built by [[Aalen]]-based safe builder Ostertag AG in cooperation with [[AEG-Telefunken]]. Each of the 1,000 selected users were given a double-bit key to open the safe with "Geldausgabe" written on it, a plastic identification card, and ten [[punched card]]s. One punch card functioned as a withdrawal slip for a 100 [[Deutsche Mark|DM]] bill, the maximum limit for daily use was 400 DM.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Pötzl |first=Norbert F. |date=2018-05-26 |title=1968 in Tübingen: Deutschlands erster Geldautomat |language=de |work=Der Spiegel |url=https://www.spiegel.de/geschichte/1968-in-tuebingen-deutschlands-erster-geldautomat-a-1208937.html |access-date=2023-05-21 |issn=2195-1349}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Heeg |first=Thiemo |date=2008-12-11 |title=55.000 Geräte in Deutschland: Happy bargeldlos: Der Geldautomat wird 40 |language=de |work=FAZ.NET |url=https://www.faz.net/aktuell/wirtschaft/55-000-geraete-in-deutschland-happy-bargeldlos-der-geldautomat-wird-40-1740609.html |access-date=2023-05-21 |issn=0174-4909}}</ref>
