Description

In ancient times, people used to trade thingsfor stuff they need, a system we know as barter exchange. But thesystem had its limitations and man was forced to come up with analternative. Hence, we were blessed with money. With money stillexisting as the main way of trading, ways of storing and collectingmoney has evolved beyond limits. People now carry debit cards,credit cards and ATM cards in place of paper bills and money isstored in bank accounts by a significant population rather thanhidden safes in the house or in underground chambers. Even a fewyears ago, ATM cards were more of a luxury than a need but nowthings have changed drastically. A lot of banks in Bangladesh nowoffer the ATM card service to collect money from their respectiveATM booths. ATM booths have sprung out in numbers. But one problemstill remains. How to find the booth of a specific bank in a citywith as confusing road structure as Dhaka? The application we hopeto develop is an ATM booth locator. Entering the name of the bankwill allow the user to locate the nearby ATM booths. The locationof the user will be determined by using Google maps. The advantageof the app will be that it will only show the ATM booth in the mapwhich will make it faster and efficient as long as data usage isconcerned. It will also be cost effective since not muchinformation will be downloaded. With the increasing number of usersof ATM cards in Bangladesh, this will greatly serve the smartphoneusing generation of the country if properly developed andadvertised.
