    A fun experience is coming to the Queen City in the form of two wheels and a mobile ATM.

    KeyBank has a new take on the ATM — its "Automated Thank You Machines" don't dispense cash, they dispense treats!

    "If you see our ATM machine, our Automatic Thank You Machine, please stop by, say hello, and grab a treat. We would be more than happy to meet you and more than happy to have you use the ATM," KeyBank Regional Communications Manager Matthew Pitts said, "This is a way that we can meet our clients in the moment. At KeyBank, we meet clients in the moment whether they are looking to save for college, save for retirement, to purchase a home, but this is a nice, fun and creative way we can meet people in the moment when they are out having fun."

    According to KeyBank, users will see a screen, “withdraw,” and get a fun receipt. They will travel around Buffalo via electric bikes, dispensing treats like cookies, tacos or toys.

    "The one thing I will guarantee, you will get something fun. This will be a neat experience, whether it's a cookie or a taco or a toy, we're out to make people happy," Pitts added.

    Here is when and where you'll be able to fund them:

    Wednesday, July 3rd

    • 4 p.m. – 6 p.m. - Outside Sahlen Field prior to the start of the KeyBank Independence Eve Celebration with the Buffalo Bisons
    • 7 p.m. – 10 p.m. – Buffalo River Fest Park (249 Ohio Street in Buffalo)

    Thursday, July 4th

    • 4 p.m. – 10 p.m. Canalside in Buffalo
      *a previous version of this story said the machines would be at the AKG/Delaware Park from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. They will no longer be there, instead, they will be at Canalside from 4 p.m. through 10 p.m.*

    KeyBank said this is part of its “Meet You in the Moment” campaign and is a fun and unique way to say thank you to the communities it serves.

    It is a fun way to meet for a moment of gratitude.

    The Buffalo market is one of KeyBank's largest markets, having more than 50 branches in the area.

    Even if you are not a client of KeyBank, Pitts told 7 News' Pheben Kassahun there is enough love to give to you too.

    "You do not have to be a KeyBank client to use our mobile, our mobile Automated 'Thank You' Machine. This is a way for us to say Thank You to everybody in Buffalo. Thank you for being part of this community, thank you for allowing KeyBank to be part of this community for supporting us. Again, it's a way to meet people in the moment," he explained.

    The next stops for KeyBank's Automated Thank You Machine will be in Rochester, Syracuse, Albany and Cleveland.
