Official Audio Prompt

In the early years of ATM machines, there were many complaints with the ATMs. The machine was programmed to allow a customer to collect their money first and then take their card. However, this made many people forget their cards and it was a worrying issue because anyone could have access to one's bank account. Now, in the UK, ATM machines have been reprogrammed so that customers will take their card first and then collect their money. As a result, it will be less likely for them to forget the money since that was the main reason for them to use an ATM. Although, people sometimes still forget to take their money. It is more catastrophic to lose your card because it can access your bank account.
