Residents commonly referred to ATMs as a "TYME machine", which resulted in confusion when Wisconsinites visiting unfamiliar areas would ask the locals where they could find a "time machine".^[3]

History

A modern "TYME machine" ATM at a Landmark Credit Union branch in Greenfield, Wisconsin.

In 1975, the TYME network was created by an agreement among First Wisconsin National Bank, Marshall & Ilsley, Marine Bank of Milwaukee, and Midland National Bank.^[1]

In 2002, the TYME network merged with the Pulse network,^[4][5][6] taking the Pulse brand name in 2004 and retiring the old TYME identity.^{[citation needed]}

As of the 2010s, the combined Pulse/TYME network included about 81,000 ATMs and 457,000 merchant point-of-sale locations.^{[citation needed]} For the purposes of familiarity, some bank locations retained the former slot for the TYME signage and use a replacement slide with "ATM" rendered in the Neil Bold font used by TYME.^[7]

In 2022, Wisconsin-based Landmark Credit Union convinced Pulse to allow the use of the old TYME logo and brand identity for marketing their next-generation ATM machines.^[8]
