ATM Locations

Although there is no specific location of an ATM, ATMs are usually placed near or inside banks, airports, metro stations, shopping centers or malls, grocery stores, restaurants, and other places. Some US Navy and cruise ships also have ATMs where sailors make transactions and withdraw cash amounts.

Recently, India and some African countries started solar-powered ATMs in village areas. In the Gulf countries, Canada and the US have ATMs with drive-thru lanes. Users can make transactions and withdraw their cash amounts by using an automobile. The highest ATM in the world is built at the Khunjerab Pass in Pakistan.

With the estimation of the ATM Industry Association, in the year 2015, there were more than 3.5 million ATMs located worldwide. ATMs are getting less attention as people started preferring cashless payments with new systems. However, ATMs are beneficial for people such as travelers.

Through ATMs, users can manage their bank deposits and credit accounts and do a wide range of transactions, such as balance checking, cash withdrawals, and transactions over mobiles. With ATMs, you can withdraw cash amounts even in foreign countries. The bank can transfer the money in your required currency if you find foreign currency at an ATM.
