Customers welcome mobile ATMs concept

DUBAI — Mobile ATMs, a relatively new and novel concept in the UAE, have been introduced by a few banks recently.

The mobile ATM vans allow customers to access cash withdrawal, loan and account facilities from a variety of outdoor sites across Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The concept, which was introduced earlier this month, has been welcomed by customers.

A representative of Standard Chartered Bank said: "Our highly visible mobile ATM truck is another example of our vision for providing customers with easy access to their finances, at times and places to suit them."

The Standard Chartered Bank mobile ATM will be on the move through various locations in Dubai, including Shaikh Zayed Road, Jumeirah, Bur Dubai, Deira, and will also be available at key events in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

The bank representative said the mobile van supplements the bank's established regional branch network, and will be open from 9am to 9pm, seven days a week. A full range of banking services will be available through the mobile ATM, such as cash withdrawal, account opening, credit card applications, as well as personal and auto loans.

“These new consumer banking initiatives are all part of Standard Chartered's extensive distribution plan to enhance the bank's UAE footprint, and to provide easy and convenient banking access for our customers,” he added.
