Anyone know what technology the ATM machine uses to have the data synchronized? Like If I withdraw money from an ATM this immediately updates my account balance. Do they use merge replication on all the ATM? Could someone explain this to me?

I doubt they are using SQL Server as their backend.

ATM's use async batch messaging between themselves and the central server.
