With these shipboard ATMs, made and installed by NCR Corp., sailors no longer have to leave their posts for long periods of time to stand in line to get their paychecks. Also, they now can withdraw the exact amount of money they need, eliminating the all-or-nothing situation they previously faced when cashing their paychecks.Six Navy vessels now have ATMs on board and the Navy is expected to expand that to a total of 118 ships.
