World's Highest ATM: People have to go through clouds to use this ATM.”
“
Today, we'll tell you about one such ATM, which is located on snow-covered hills rather than in a city. Not only that, but this ATM holds the world record for World's Highest ATM.
Where is this ATM?
World's Highest ATM machine, which we are talking about is situated on a mountaintop, on the Khunjerab Pass border located between China and Pakistan on Karakoram Highway.
This area of snow-capped mountains is quite famous to tourists and attracts a large number of tourists from around the nation and overseas each year.
So, to provide ATM facility to the tourists at this place, NBP (the National Bank of Pakistan) decided to install ATMs. So that they may withdraw money more easily.
In the year 2016, NBP established this ATM machine at a height of 4693 meters (15397 feet).
Because there is no electricity at such a high altitude covered in snow, the operation of this ATM was arranged to run on wind power and solar energy.
This cash machine atop the mountain attracts also a lot of tourists coming there, so there is often a crowd to withdraw money.
This is a very exciting thing for tourists taking money from this ATM because getting here requires passing through the clouds. So they feel that they are taking money out of the sky.
Guinness Book of World Records
In addition, the ATM's name is included in the Guinness Book of World Records as the highest ATM in the world.
The Guinness World Record-holding machine works similarly to any other, allowing you to withdraw cash, pay utility bills, and make interbank fund transfers.
