This is not for reliability I assure you, as a machine glitch one day gave me 64 billion dollars. Unfortunately a human computer program fixed the error for the bank. But banks use atm's to decrease cost, they use computers to decrease costs and have a central storehouse of information. But the main reason is not accuracy. When the machine's screw up, the people have to fix it.
