ATM Hunter locates any ATM around the world simply by entering an address. It also shows you whether certain merchants accept PayPassTM.
You can tailor your search depending on the information you’d like including whether an ATM is a stand-alone or attached to a bank branch.
Don’t know how to get to the ATM? The app gives you the exact distance between your location and where the machine is and a map to help you get there.
Cost: Free
Of course, most banks also have personalised applications such as CommBank, ANZ GoMoney, NAB and St. George.
There is also a handy PayPal application so you can access and spend your money securely from anywhere.
