# Steampunk-Style ATMs CIB Bank's 'Bankomat' is a Cash Machine Inspired by the 1800s By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2016-04-30 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cash-machine References: [adweek](http://www.adweek.com/adfreak/bank-made-couple-120-year-old-atms-and-theyre-so-money-171076) In order to celebrate the 120th anniversary of Budapest's Grand Boulevard neighborhood, CIB Bank stepped up to create a [cash machine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfservice-cash-dispensers) that looked as if it was centuries old. The antique-inspired ATM machine is meant to transport people back to what Hungarian society looked like in the 1890s and runs on steam-powered machines. Rather than doling out real money, these showpiece machines were used to take pictures of people and use them to create [customized bank notes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allt-bank) on the spot. CIB Bank recently released its own [mobile banking app](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/st-bank), which offers a more up-to-date way to bank than this steampunk machine does. On a larger scale, the city hosts the Budapest100 festival in order to spotlight building and local infrastructure that's more than a century old. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 64% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Interactive](https://www.trendhunter.com/interactive) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Steampunk-style Atms:** Opportunity for banks to create nostalgic and interactive banking experiences with steampunk-inspired ATMs. - **Mobile Banking Apps:** Opportunity to provide customers with convenient and modern banking solutions through mobile apps. - **Heritage Celebrations:** Opportunity for cities to showcase historical architecture and infrastructure through heritage festivals. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Banking:** Banks can leverage steampunk and mobile technologies to enhance customer experiences and attract new users. - **Technology:** Companies can develop innovative mobile banking apps and steampunk-inspired ATM machines to cater to the evolving needs of the banking industry. - **Tourism:** Cities can leverage heritage celebrations to attract tourists and highlight their historical landmarks and infrastructure. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sausage Snack ATMs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greggs-and-monzo.md) - [Metaverse ATMs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/decentraland-1.md) - [Digital Currency Piggy Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-piggy-bank-concept.md) - [AI-Assisted Dual-Side ATMs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dualsided-atm.md) - [Sausage Roll Distribution Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atmmm.md) - [Fake ATM Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fake-atm.md) - [Steampunk Desktop Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3in1-desk.md) - [Porcelain-Clad Vending Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automatica-project.md) - [Old-Fashioned Espresso Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-modern-espresso-machine.md)
