What is the full form of ATM?
Appeared in: CGHS SSC - 2018
Explanation
- The correct full form for the acronym ATM is Automated Teller Machine.
- An ATM is an electronic banking outlet that allows customers to complete basic financial transactions without the aid of a human teller.
- It functions as a self-service terminal for actions like cash withdrawal, deposits, and account inquiries.
- The name emphasizes its function of automating the role of a traditional bank 'teller'.
Why Other Options Were Wrong
- Option B: This is not the standard or official full form of ATM. The term 'transferable money' is not a recognized banking term in this context.
- Option C: While an ATM does perform automatic transfers, this is not its official name. The term 'Teller' is key as it replaces the function of a human bank teller.
- Option D: This is a popular and informal phrase that describes the 24/7 availability of cash from an ATM, but it is not the official full form.
