There’s an App For That: Find an ATM Around the World

As the popular iPhone commercials say, “There’s an App for That.”

MasterCard offers a new application used on both iPhone and iPod, which helps cardholders find an ATM anywhere around the world.  The application is available at the Apple App Store, and is called The MasterCard ATM Hunter.

Not only does the technology allow cardholders to locate ATMs regardless of their physical location, but the application helps them with more advanced details, as well.  Due to the estimated 2 million people per year who contact MasterCard customer service by phone and email for information about ATM locations, the company felt creating the application would be beneficial.

Along with geographic location information, cardholders can now get information about where handicapped accessible ATMs are located, the bank charges at the ATMs nearby, where deposits can be made, which locations feature a drive thru ATM and the hours of operation for all locations on the list.  Having access to this information via their iPhone or iPod will reduce the number of customer service calls for the information.
