TSB Bank and Telecom have joined forces to trial New Zealand's first ATM payphone kiosk, which will enable those on the move to do their banking and make phone calls from the same location.
TSB Bank managing director Kevin Rimmington said: TSB Bank was the first bank in New Zealand to provide ATM services in 1981 and, just as we were then, we continue to be eager to consider new ways of improving services for our customers today.
TSB Bank is increasing its presence around New Zealand and, if this trial is successful, providing more ATM payphones on Telecom’s nationwide payphone network could be an attractive option for further expanding our coverage in the future.
If the trial proves successful, both parties expect to roll out more ATM payphone sites.
The ATM service will be available to TSB Bank customers free of charge and to customers of all other New Zealand banks with charges applying at their own bank’s normal ATM account-based rates.
The ATM kiosk also boasts the most secure ATM technology available, with features such as 3DES encryption, anti-skimming facia and card insertion and removal jitter.
