Article Abstract:
Automated teller machines (ATMs) have not yet been able to fulfill their promise of cutting transaction costs. If banks can impose charges for their use successfully, however, these ATMs may yet serve as revenue generators. A process that can be employed in examining whether or not banks should charge for the use of proprietary ATMs is described. In particular, the process developed by a retail banking institution which provided the needed information to implement a decision regarding a proprietary ATM pricing strategy is used as example.

Article Abstract:
An unbiased credit model for reducing underdiversification of bank portfolios through securitization is tested. Results show that the model addresses the adverse-selection problem by enabling the remote risk assessment of expected and unexpected loan losses that could lead to bank failure. However, the model enables borrowers to access public markets without the intervention of banks.
