Who is James Goodfellow?
James Goodfellow OBE is a Scottish inventor. In 1966, he patented Personal Identification Number technology, and is widely acknowledged as the inventor of Automatic Teller Machine technology, although John Shepherd-Barron also had a large part to play in their development.
He was a development engineer given the project of developing an automatic cash dispenser in 1965. His system accepted a machine readable encrypted card, with a numerical PIN keypad. His machine was tested a month later than one developed by John Shepherd-Barron.
In 2006 Goodfellow was awarded an OBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours for his invention of the Personal Identification Number.
