    These Unisys statistics should be taken with a grain of salt.

    It would appear that there’s some marketing ploy behind these them as Unisys released similar statistics in Australia. I wonder what they’re up to.

    Are they offering fingerprint ATMs or other such devices to the banks? Who knows?
