Adorable Dog Treat ATMs May Be Coming to Your Local Bank

Your trip to the bank could be getting way more fun. Well, your dog’s trip to the bank could, now that they can make their very own ATM withdrawals at TD Bank. 

TD Bank is debuting a new line of ATMs — but these ATMs aren’t your typical ones. They’re “Automated Treat Machines,” specifically designed to dispense treats for dogs. Last year, the bank installed a few of these special ATMs in Philadelphia; this month, they’re launching the dog ATMs in eight locations across the country. A select few TD locations in Connecticut, New Jersey, Virginia, Florida, New York, and Massachusetts will be receiving the new ATMs. The full list can be found on TD’s website. 

And TD isn’t stopping there — Dog ATMs will be heading to six more TD Bank locations in 2026. 

“We want to make our stores feel unmistakable TD — and our Automated Treat Machines connect us with our customers and bring the community closer to the store in a unique and memorable way,” said Michale Snyder, TD’s Head of US Regional, Retail Distribution, and Experimental Marketing in a press release. 

The Dog ATMs look almost identical to the actual human ATMs at TD Banks, except, of course, much smaller and at dog-level height. Each machine has a little mat with pawprints on it, to show your dog where they are supposed to stand. A motion detector will dispense the free treats into a bowl as dogs approach. The screens also feature dog-specific content—an no, they won’t be able to check your balance.

Apparently, many TD Bank locations have already had treats on hand to share with customers’ dogs, so it’s only natural that they evolve into these dog-centered ATMs. Snyder said the goal was to “inject a bit of fun and excitement” to the TD Banking world. And if seeing your dog wag their tail at their own wee ATM isn’t fun and exciting, I don’t know what is. 

The first ATM in Philadelphia’s South Broad branch was such a success, that Rick Carrion, TD’s Retail Market Manager of the Philadelphia area, said that the bank saw a ton of repeat customers. Well, dog customers who kept coming up to the machine to get more treats. 

"It's really been a part of connecting with our customers on a day-to-day basis," said Bianca Otero, TD Bank's South Broad Store Manager. "It just feels like it's bringing the community closer to the store."

With the new locations opening, even more dog customers will get a chance to try out one of these ATMS, while their parents do important bank things like taking out loans and figuring out interest rates. 

All the new Dog ATM locations will also be getting grand opening events. The specific activities depend on the branch. On Oct. 11, one New Jersey location in Cranford will feature an on-site caricaturist who specializes in drawing humans and pets together. The Oct. 18 opening in Elmwood Park will have a dog adaption event and a dog-centered food truck. One thing is universal, though: all events will be incredibly dog-friendly.
