The ANZ ATM at our local shopping centre has been re-branded as an “ATM X”. It’s in the same location and is seemingly the same machine, just with a different label. I now see that ANZ has transferred ownership of its off-site ATMs to Armaguard. In fact it seems that Armaguard has forged a tie up with CBA as well as ANZ. On the other hand, rival, Prosegur has apparently taken control of most of Westpac’s offsite ATMs.
I suppose this is unobjectionable, given that I can still use my ANZ card at these machines without a fee. However, apparently anyone whose bank hasn’t reached a deal with Armaguard will be charged a fee every time they withdraw. In this case it makes much more sense to use the cash-out facility at the supermarket.
