MAX out your card at new super-cashpoint
The humble ATM, which celebrates its 40th year of service, has been revamped, allowing customers to order flowers, print photos, play games and download ringtones at the same time as withdrawing their cash.Called the MAX BOX, the new cashpoint, is the brainchild of Felix Group and is currently being deployed across the UK both in the high street and in pubs, cinemas and other leisure facilities.The multi-function dual-screen kiosk has the capacity to turn the host venue into a Wi-Fi hotspot, and its digital jukebox option holds every top 40 hit since UK charts began. Andy Egan, chief executive of Felix, said: "The launch of the MAX BOX sees vending and ATMs finally growing up, with machines in pubs, airport lounges, shops, staff canteens and other public spaces no longer there just to dispense crisps, coke or cash."Just as 1967 ushered in a new era of consumer convenience by allowing customers to withdraw 'emergency' cash from outside a bank for the first time, so we're helping to bring about a new digital retail revolution with the arrival of the MAX BOX."
