Technology still a key to our future
Standard Bank Team
Super Contributor

Computers and development around information technology are taken for granted nowadays. Back when everything was recorded in handwriting, the introduction of the typewriter was probably met with as much excitement (and trepidation) as was the personal computer in more recent history.

This year, Standard Bank Group celebrates 120 years of it embracing technology. It was then that the first typewriter. Over the years some pretty weird-looking technology made its way into the offices and branches.

The success of the 1930 ledger mechanisation led to an ever-increasing adoption of machines for other banking functions, such as the popular 1948 foreign exchange calculator affectionately referred to as a “coffee grinder”.

Our journey continues with our many projects to create the future of banking today.
