Bay News-TV Channel 9: In a van called the Coast Cash Cruiser, Floridians in the Tampa Bay area are getting faster and more convenient access to their cash. Equipped with four Coast Bank ATMs, the van travels from location to location, taking ATMs to the people. "In the event of a disaster we would turn off all of the fees," said Anne Lee of Coast Bank. "No other customers would be charged fees and just allow them to use our services." Coast Bank is currently working to establish a satellite uplink system to the ATMs so people can not only take out money, but do their banking online.
