Australia’s online-only lender ME Bank has launched a workplace banking kiosk at Telstra’s contact centre in Melbourne.
The kiosk, which is just five square metres, is a miniature bank branch operating on an employer’s worksite.

Located in the central business district, the mini-branch includes a video phone to access ME Bank’s call centre, a private office space for meetings with a banker, an ATM, and access to internet banking.
Ian Hendey, ME Bank’s Group Executive Sales, said: "ME Bank’s new Workplace Banking Kiosk brings personal banking services into the workplace like never before."
"The Kiosks combine face-to-face and digital banking and address the difficulty many people have finding time to go to their bank.
"More Australians are feeling increasingly time poor and many employees are working long or irregular hours. ME Bank is taking banking to the customer, rather than making them come to us."
