Inflation and digitization may be among the things that led to the limited use of automatic teller machines (ATMs), I mean that these machines do not give a lot of cash, and with inflation, the value of money withdrawn is greater than that which these machines can absorb. Countries such as Brazil, Turkey, and Venezuela, which were affected by hyperinflation, will decrease. Where is the percentage of use of ATMs.

In areas where there is no Internet, there are solutions for payment by EMS messages and some centralized solutions, which have been popular in some African countries. M-Pesa is a service that does this in Africa.

Maybe the three countries you mentioned are a small part of the limitations of using automated teller machines (ATMs), in general, ATM machines have a limited amount of money in them and the Bank has to try to top it up regularly every time people take lots of money. For my country this does not yet apply to scarcity or reduction and ATM machines are still an alternative used by people and we don't even need to queue at the teller to deposit money because cash ATMs are available.

Talk of depreciating in value may be true that fiat currency has a dipping point and this is not a solution to holding fiat currency long term and most people are trying to find alternatives to store value.

The reasons for the need to transfer cash have decreased significantly, and reliance on banks has become a basic form.

For this problem you are right and I do not deny because indeed money has depreciated, thus forcing people to look for an alternative in hedging. Various factors have put money at the stage of losing trust, but whether we realize it or not we still need it enough.
