This volume investigates the historical trajectory of information technology adoption within the retail banking sector across Western Europe, North America, and Mexico. The editors, Bernardo Bátiz-Lazo, J. Carles Maixé-Altés, and Paul Thomes, curate a collection of scholarly essays that examine how mechanization and subsequent computerization transformed organizational structures, accounting methods, and consumer credit systems between the early 20th century and the turn of the millennium. By synthesizing diverse regional case studies, the text argues that technological integration in finance was not a uniform process but a complex interplay of national policy, institutional culture, and specific organizational needs.
