Hi, Yesterday I was also on the site of ATM. It was really a great feeling to transact through my ATM card independently with the help of IVR. Day before yesterday, during the trial before the inauguration of ATM I had used two different bank's cards and checked account balance, withdrew money etc. The messages were quite clear with multiple options as mentioned by other members. What I feel that banks should come up with ATM cards having some kind of uniform tactile mark so one can ascertain the exact direction in which it can be inserted in the machine.
