ATMs Give Out Free Money, Gifts As Bank Thanks Its Customers

In an effort to thank its customers one Canadian bank turned ATMs into thanking machines that give free money and remarkable gifts.



The customers were given some gifts, including trips, memorable experiences and fulfilled dreams

A video showing a cash machine talking to customers and giving them free cash and gifts has become an internet sensation. The video that starts with the following words, “Sometimes you just want to say thank you. So we turned ATMs into Automated Thanking Machines” has already been viewed nearly 3 million times.

Marvelous ATMs surprised customers by talking to them and addressing them by name. Then the customers were given some gifts, including trips, memorable experiences and fulfilled dreams.



We wanted to say thank you to our customers in a way that we felt was unique and distinctive

Among the 12 lucky specifically pre-selected customers were one single mom who had been unable to take her kids on vacation and was given a trip to Disneyland and two $1,000 cheques for their education.



Other ATMs of TD Canada Trust bank gave every customer a $20 bill

An elderly woman received tickets to Trinidad so she could visit her daughter who is fighting with cancer. And a die-hard Toronto Blue Jays fan was offered the opportunity to throw out the first pitch at a game.



Our local branch employees know their customers really well and often have close relationships with them

Other ATMs of TD Canada Trust bank gave every customer a $20 bill last Friday as a thank you for their loyalty. Chris Stamper, a senior vice-president at the bank, said:

“Our local branch employees know their customers really well and often have close relationships with them. Some have been through tough times and some are just wonderfully kind and caring people. They had no idea what was in store. We wanted to say thank you to our customers in a way that we felt was unique and distinctive, and that actually gave back to our customers.”
