It's quite common in Japan for ATMs to only operate during business hours. The Japanese are world-class experts at implementing technology in ways that completely negate its core value.
- hrktb 13y agoThat's half of the story. The other half is the ATM is not just refusing to operate, it's behind closed doors to protect it from potential aggressions. Japanese bank are sharply close to their core values (keep the money).
- Chupachupski 13y agoI am aware that this was true in the past (a countryside ATM booth tried to lock me in at 6:00PM 11 years ago) but can you list any recent examples of this (bank names, ATM locations)? I was there in January this year and did not encounter this at all. The worst was an "after hours" fee of a few hundred yen at a Mitsubishi UFJ foyer ATM (after 10:00 PM IIRC).
