SINGAPORE -- Getting stuff done at the bank often involves having to waste part of your day standing in line at the bank. 。
Singapore's national bank just started rolling out the country's first-ever video conference based teller machines, where you can talk to a live teller via video chat. 。

The machines will take some resources to run. For one, a live teller needs to look peppy and respond to customers round-the-clock -- a service banks don't offer yet, since most branches stop serving walk-ins by late afternoon. 。

The virtual teller machines will perform regular ATM services such as cash withdrawals and balance enquiries, and they'll also be able to dispense debit cards and internet banking tokens. 。

In order to access these functions, users will need to bring along valid identification. The machines will also be able to scan fingerprints to authenticate users. 。
"We see the [machines] as a game-changer for the industry, in terms of delivering round-the-clock branch banking services to our customers," said Jeremy Soo, managing director and head of consumer banking group (Singapore), DBS Bank. 。
The first virtual teller machine will run from 10am to 2pm on weekdays and 10am to 1pm on Saturdays for now, until DBS extends the service to its 24/7 plan. 。(责任编辑：熱點)
