The number of ATMs in the United States has grown to between 475,000 and 500,000, according to new data out this week from the ATM Industry Association. 

The trade group reported that the financial services industry has been adding more terminals after years of dealing with a struggling American economy, as well as the challenges of Windows upgrades and EMV migration. The data suggests that about 16% of the world's ATMs are in the United States.
