      Saw a commercial in Japan “Remember to visit the ATM on Friday because we’ll have 3 solid days of downtime for a systems upgrade” and This Is Fine, I suppose.

      “What?!?” Tremendous mismanagement of technology on behalf of large non-historically-technology companies in Japan plus the assumption that customers won’t change banks over two nines of uptime.

          Haven’t been there for a while, is Japan still mostly cash-based? Had assumed cashless options were big now

          “It’s complicated.” Credit card adoption continuing apace, there’s great interest in wallets but little adoption outside of the transit vertical (where they are huge), and strong push from gov’t/finance to decrease cash payments but a huge gap in the plan.

          Almost like the 90s, where atms were only at bank locations and were closed after certain times at night. Iirc it was because the atms ran on the same EDI system that the banks used for interbank txfrs, but could be wrong....

          Is that assumption well-founded?

          Not many other options. And not uncommon in Japan to use social engineering to bandaid technical engineering problems.
