Cockney is an English slang and hard to understand for tourists. Simply select the Cockney option in the language menu and the ATM will give you “a speckled hen (£10), a score (£20), a pony (£25), a ton (£100), and a monkey (£500).” Managing Director of Bank Machine Ron Delnevo said they wanted to add a fun element which would be of local interest to the ATMs. People who speak the infamous London dialect are sure to be pleased by this change. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 1% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [World News](https://www.trendhunter.com/worldnews) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Localized Language Options:** Opportunity for ATM companies to offer language options that cater to specific regions or local dialects, enhancing customer experience. - **Fun and Quirky Features:** Incorporating entertaining elements into ATM machines can engage customers and create positive associations with the brand. - **Tourist-friendly Innovations:** Creating features in ATM machines that are useful for tourists, such as language options that aid understanding and navigation. ### Who This Affects Most - **Banking:** Banks can explore innovative ways to make their ATMs more engaging for customers, providing a unique and memorable experience. - **Technology:** Technological advancements in ATM machines can provide opportunities for customization and localized features, attracting customers and promoting brand loyalty. - **Tourism:** ATM companies can collaborate with tourism entities to develop features in their machines that cater to the needs of tourists, offering convenience and a seamless experience during their travels. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sausage Roll Distribution Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atmmm.md) - [Fake ATM Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fake-atm.md) - [Multi-Currency Vending Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multicurrency-vending-machine.md) - [Pie Vending Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pie-vending-machine.md) - [Spelling Vending Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pay-with-words-vending-machine.md) - [Low-Cost Shirt Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1p-shop.md) - [Accessible NFT Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mynft.md) - [Global Money-Transferring Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hsbc-2.md) - [Cash Recycling Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cl-compact-cash-recycler.md)
