IBM 3624
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_3624

The IBM 3624 was a late 1970s second-generation automatic teller machine
(ATM), a successor to the IBM 3614. Designed at the IBM Los Gatos lab,
the IBM 3624, along with the later IBM 4732 model, was manufactured at
IBM facilities in Charlotte, North Carolina and Havant, England until
all operations were sold to Diebold, tied to the formation of the
InterBold partnership between IBM and Diebold

... snip ...

I had offices and labs for a time in Los Gatos lab (since been plowed
under and sold off for a housing development) ... but it was after the
3614 time ... I did hear stories from some of the people that had been
there.

One of the projects that I had out at los gatos lab was some of
high speed data transport ... some past posts
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subnetwork.html#hsdt

IBM had put in collins digital radio (T3 microwave) between bldg 12 on
the main plant site ... to repeater over the hill down to STL (since
renamed silicon valley lab) and repeater above Los Gatos lab (and the
hill above los gatos dump).

HSDT put in 4.5M tdma satellite dish in the Los Gatos back parking lot
another in in back lot behind IBM Yorktown research ... and a 7M dish in
Austin.

Los gatos had also done LSM (specialized chip design logic simulator
that ran something like 50,000 times faster than 168-3 ... doing logic
simulation) ... and Austin was shipping RIOS (RS/6000) chip logic design
to Los Gatos for validation. some RISC/ROMP/RIOS/etc past posts

after I left IBM ... was involved in designing electronic payment
transaction protocols and chipcards ... recent mention
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2016e.html#6 Is it a lost cause?

reference to nacha/star did pilot of part of one of the protocols;
