Croghan and crew didn’t find that whole idea very economically sensible, so they set out to change it. Unlike what we know today, there was a time back in the 90’s that in order to use an ATM you had to utilize your specific bank’s machine. ACI, co-founded by one of Ray’s college friends, was working to develop a platform for the big banks of the world to run their ATM networks. Shortly after graduating college as a computer programmer (a career which he noted is the equivalent of today’s software engineers except computer programmers didn’t make nearly as much money), he began work at ACI. The tropical scene had been set, (for both of us) and I had the hunch I was in for an entertaining interview, fast forward 20 minutes later and that was exactly the case.Ĭroghan couldn’t recall a time in his life he hadn’t been intertwined with the software industry. He answered my video call with a picturesque beach view behind him, not of the real beach but rather the Zoom filter. A place that he frequents as he owns a condo there. Ray Croghan and I first communicated when he was on vacation in Mexico.
