Literally! Recently, EMotorWerks unveiled the JuiceBox charging station ATM, but that was on April 1. Meanwhile, the EV ATMs exist for real! Idea Bank in Poland introduced several mobile ATMs, using BMW i3s to collect cash from entrepreneurs around the city or withdraw their money. “The bank has outfitted four electric BMW i3 automobiles with built-in cash depository ATMs that can be called upon by small businesses using the IdeaBank Money Collection app for Android and iOS. Entrepreneurs can also make an advance booking by entering the desired time and location of the service delivery and observe the car’s current position on a map. Research conducted by Idea Bank has shown that one in three business owners use only cash transactions, and the remaining two use both cash and different methods of payment. Eighty percent of the respondents deliver their money to the bank in person, often doing so in the evening hours.” The first i3 ATM was launched in the capital Warsaw. The ATM has its own power supply, separate to i3 REx’s battery pack. Dominik Fajbusiewicz, Idea Bank board member said: “Entrepreneurs who personally deliver their income to the bank or a stationary CDM waste both their time and money. Our service aims at lifting that weight off their shoulders,”. “Depending on popularity, the service will be extended to other cities across the country.” [© insideevs.com] http://www.finextra.com/news/fullstory.aspx?newsitemid=27198 Idea Bank chases 'Uber of banking' tag with mobile ATM fleet 07 April 2015 | Poland's Idea Bank is taking a novel approach to the mobile banking phenomenon, with the launch of a fleet of automobiles fitted with ATMs that can be summoned by smartphone.

"Entrepreneurs who personally deliver their income to the bank or a stationary CDM waste both their time and money. Our service aims at lifting that weight off their shoulders," says Dominik Fajbusiewicz, Idea Bank board member. The first vehicle has already hit the streets in Warsaw. Newer shipments will allow Idea Bank’s clients not only to deposit, but also to withdraw their money. Depending on popularity, the service will be extended to other cities across the country, says Fajbusiewicz. The project was developed in partnership with iTaxi, which prepared the mobile booking app available for Android and iOS. In February, the innovative mid-sized lender launched a new bank branch in Warsaw staffed by trained baristas in a bid to entice small business owners away from local coffee shops with the aroma of freshly-brewed beverages, free office work space and bookable conference rooms.

There's no denying the massive technology advancements are making our lives a lot easier and the latest example is quite interesting as Poland's Idea Bank had the bright idea of fitting four BMW i3 electric vehicles with built-in ATMs. Clients can actually "hire" these cars by using the IdeaBank Money Collection app developed by iTaxi for iOS and Android platforms. Moreover, entrepreneurs have the possibility of booking the car in advance at a desired time and location and they are also able to check out the i3's current position on a map. Think of this as a home delivery service but instead of getting a pizza, you obtain access to an ATM to withdraw and/or deposit money. According to Idea Bank's board member Dominik Fajbusiewicz, the first vehicle is now operable on the streets of Warsaw and if it will turn out to be a success, the service will be extended to other cities across Poland.
