VietNamNet Bridge – Vietnam Guinness Books Center, or Vietkings, last Thursday awarded a Guinness record certificate to Dong A Bank for having the country’s first mobile ATM system.
Dong A Bank customizes two two-ton trucks to transport four wireless high speed ATMs each which connect directly to the main computer system in the bank.
The trucks will go through HCMC’s central districts and Go Vap, Binh Thanh and Tan Binh districts, stopping at entertainment areas, parks and markets. They will also stop at Tan Thuan Industrial Park in HCMC’s District 7 and Pouyen in Tan Phu District to distribute free ATM cards to workers.
The bank owns 1,200 ATMs throughout the country with 2.5 million customers using multi-purpose ATM cards.
Dong A Bank is expected to launch another 20 mobile ATM trucks.
