Sneakers (1992)
Robert Redford and his team break into banks using some lovely old interfaces both digital and analogue. I bet that today there are still interfaces like this in most banks too. This clip shows the code breaker box in action as they get into the encrypted Federal Reserve. This is just the beginning, Ben Kingsley wants to bring them all down.
Altered Carbon (2018) - Episode 3
Thumb print / DNA based payment and credit limits abound in the TV Adaptation of Richard Morgan’s Trilogy. This sweary little scene features a child buying lollipops and then our heroes putting the seller in his place with their credit limit, which comes as a bit of a shock to him.
Altered Carbon (2018) - Episode 6
One of my favourite futuristic film money examples so far. Mixing in a little bit of American style horror of not being able to pay for medical expenses due to your DNA based credit limit, then someone else being able to angrily pay instead.
Despicable Me (2010)
Beautiful branch design from Despicable Me. Access to the Bank of Evil (formerly Lehman Brothers) is via the toilet, a biometric iris scan is then required to access the banking hall. The design of the pillars is an especially nice touch.
Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters (2013)
An ATM with a very annoying video advert trying to sell a credit card. Not very futuristic at all to be honest.
Anon (2018)
Netflix on a Black Mirror/Minority Report lite kind of vibe. In mind interface design with a few examples of purchases. One for a hotdog...one for a erm hot date. Frictionless purchase experiences and interfaces a lot of people dream of. The killer in the piece only takes cash apparently although we never see them paid but we do see some coke bought with it. ‘Remember cash?’ Clive Owen moodily muses. While there are still illegal drugs there will still be cash.
Entrapment (1999)
Overly elaborate digital bank vault, retina scan fooling glasses, Nokia branded monitors rising dramatically from the ornate desk, patch cables added willy nilly, needless status bar / amount countdown display. Masterful.
Casino Royale (2006)
The classic digital money transfer suitcase. Alphanumeric keypad. Password intrigue. Comedy Swiss Banker. Awful dialogue. Suggested by Scott Smith
Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991)
Young John Connor uses his Atari Portfolio to hack into the ATM of the Federal Security Bank. I wonder how many nerds have the PIN 9003 because of this film?
The Stepford Wives (2004)
This poor remake features a remarkable futuristic film money scenario. A wife that dispenses dollar bills following the insertion of a card into her mouth. Disturbing.
The Island (2005)
Set in 2019 this dystopian flick on clones being created for insurance purposes features some interesting future money scenarios. Wearable wrist bands provide nutrition information and allowances for the clones but also allows them to buy drinks. When the escape the island and arrive in real world 2019 the credit cards of the world are still plastic, still swipeable and can be used in bizarre MSN Search booths.
Swordfish (2001)
A computing interface classic, a classic wire transfer interface. Hugh Jackman transfers the money, spread across multiple accounts at the demands of John Travolta’s overblown terrorist character, but then just as he is about to leave the numbers on the screen start moving back to zero. Classic wire transfer and recall switcheroo.
Minority Report (2002)
One of, if not the, most iconic use of design fiction in film so I expected far more future money but no. Amex get a mention during the famously creepy personalised retina based advertisement scene. We don’t quite see how Tom pays for his drugs. We do see that Tom pays for his new eye balls with what appears to be a magstripe credit card. judging by the way it is gleefully swiped. EMV still not fully rolled out then by 2054 in the US. Not a shock to be honest.
The 6th Day (2000)
Arnie awakes in a daze in the back of a cab. He pays his fare with a simple press of the thumb on the touch screen taxi meter. He does not even question the exorbitant fee.
Demolition Man (1993)
Wesley Snipes demonstrates his hacker typing skills to crack into a futuristic phone box / terminal that gives him access to automated banking (maybe he was checking his tax returns). His frustration at the interface leads him to swear for which he is fined and given a paper ticket. The paperless world was still not with us in 2032.
The Fifth Element (1997)
A lot of people have suggested the Multipass as a futuristic film money example. It is not clear what exactly the Multipass is but it is used as some form of identity and also bears the Visa logo so we can assume it is also a payment method / product placement.
First suggested by Jack Gavigan
Judge Dredd (1995)
The servo recycled food robot gets on the wrong side of Stallone's Dredd. He has no desire to insert some creds. Underneath the glossy(ish) veneer of automated vending he finds a human. A hacker no less who amongst other things has previous for interfering with cash machines, so they are still around in 2139. A cashless society is clearly a way off.
