CIBC FirstCaribbean International Bank (Bahamas) has installed a dual currency Automatic Banking Machine (ABM) in the Atlantis Marina Village on Paradise Island.

The move is designed to benefit Bahamian workers in the area, plus local and international visitors. The machine is the latest in a series of installations and upgrades CIBC FirstCaribbean has been making to its ABM network across the island.

The machine, which dispenses both Bahamian and American currency, and provides sophisticated, fast and efficient e-banking services, follows similar installations at CIBC FirstCaribbean’s Bay Street branch and the Sir Lynden Pindling International Airport (LPIA).

CIBC FirstCaribbean managing director, Marie Rodland-Allen, said Paradise Island was the logical next location for the new technology roll-out. The closure of the Paradise Island branch earlier this year left CIBC FirstCaribbean customers who live or work in the area without the convenience of their bank.

“The machines at the airport and Bay Street branch have been well received by our clients, visitors and staff as a progressive and timely service addition,” Mrs Rodland-Allen said.

“We realised Paradise Island would benefit, too, especially with the ABM’s accessible location for visitors to the island and for the many Atlantis staff who are also customers of the bank and looking for convenience in executing their day-to-day banking activities. Our response so far has been enthusiastic and we look forward to continuing to serve.”
