„We are the largest fuel chain and also the largest café. We constantly strive to offer our customers new products and services. We introduced Wi-Fi zones where you can also recharge your phone or computer, we launched a car wash app and now we’ve come up with another novelty to increase drivers’ comfort at our filling stations,“ said Marek Zouvala, Director of the Unipetrol Group’s Benzina odštěpný závod (registered branch).
The new “DRIVE UP” ATM is Benzina’s new service for its customers. Located directly between fuel racks, it allows drivers to carry out financial operations directly from the window of their car. A special ATM for motorists is height-adjustable for convenient control from the car window, even for SUVs or vans. The Komerční banka ATM which was installed on Argentinská Street in Prague is open 24/7. In addition to withdrawing cash, ATM also receives deposits. This is good news especially for entrepreneurs who will no longer have to go to the bank’s branch with their takings or look for another deposit ATM.
"Our motorists associate this service based on the American 'DRIVE' model with several fast food restaurants. Now, as the first bank in the Czech Republic, we will enable drivers to withdraw money from an ATM conveniently without having to leave their car. Further expansion of this service will depend on the motorists’ interest," said Jana Švábenská, Executive Director for Payment and Transaction Services.
There are approximately 68,800 Drive-up ATMs installed around the world, representing roughly 2% of the total number of ATMs installed worldwide. They’re mostly located in the US (40% of all ATMs) and Saudi Arabia (13%). Other countries with Drive-ups representing more than 1% of all ATMs include Pakistan, Canada, Iran, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates.
Benzina's filling station network offers a complete range of top-notch additivated fuels with guaranteed quality. Drivers can choose between a range of petrol and diesel EFECTA with an engine-cleaning effect or a high-octane range of VERVA fuels. Moreover, Benzina also offers gastronomical services under the Stop Cafe brand. Stop Cafe at Benzina is being sought by customers, including families with children or vegetarians, especially due to a wide variety of traditional and modern dishes made from fresh ingredients and with regard to healthy nutrition. There is also a relax zone with free Wi-Fi and sockets to charge laptops or phones for tired drivers to refresh themselves or for business meetings etc. Good fair trade coffee blended in Belgium for drivers’ contentment goes without question.
Benzina filling station at Argentinská is open non-stop 24/7.
