I took money out of a Bankwest ATM yesterday. Using a Bankwest ATM is a first for me. I would not normally use Bankwest except for the fact I learned the bank is affiliated with Commonwealth Bank of Australia, which is my bank.
When I received the receipt from the Bankwest ATM machine, the back of the receipt surprised me. It read “Starlight Children’s Foundation proudly supported by Bankwest Foundation. Why did this surprise me? Rarely is anything printed on the back of an ATM receipt and it was nice to see the partnership between Starlight Children’s Foundation and Bankwest promoted. Last week I wrote a travel audience is a captive audience. I would suggest an ATM audience is also a captive audience. Congrats to both Bankwest and Starlight Children’s Foundation.
