Emirates bank launches ‘ATM on Wheels’ at Gitex

The ATM on Wheels is a custom built vehicle, which contains an ATM machine that facilitates cash withdrawals; instant cash deposits and secure automated cheque deposits. The vehicle has been designed to cater to the requirements of customers at events, exhibitions, shopping malls, etc., with large gatherings of people who would need ATM services. It will also be ideal for providing ATM services to customers who are located in places where there is no access to ATM machines, such as labour camps.

The ATMs use the latest GPRS-based wireless technology to connect to the bank’s ATM network, making the vehicle highly mobile and flexible in its placement. It is also equipped with sophisticated cutting-edge security systems with GPS-based tracking and monitoring.

Anis Al Jallaf, Managing Director and CEO Emirates Bank Group said, “ATM on Wheels was developed in response to customer demands. We have identified a number of locations around the UAE that are in dire need of mobile ATM services.”

After unveiling the truck, Louis Scotto, General Manager, Retail Banking Emirates Bank said: “We already had a lot of demand from companies, event managers and prominent establishments for providing ATM services at their premises. The mobile ATM overcomes the logistical challenges of placing permanent ATMs at such locations, and gives us the option of providing ATM services ‘on demand’ at the customer’s doorstep.”
