Something that is becoming increasingly popular is speedy delivery services, which now extends to on-demand cash. This banking service involves a human ATM that comes to meet you with cash, further improving your access. Nimbl is hoping to make automated telling more mobile by utilizing human helpers and an app.
The on-demand cash service is currently only available in San Francisco and New York City. The iOS application features a simple interface that allows users to pick the amount they want to withdraw and GPS logs the location. The app will give an estimated delivery time, which users can accept. The runners complete the transaction at an agreed meeting place and users pay using Venmo, a platform similar to PayPal. All Nimbl helpers have to have a background check performed.
