Some NYC Chase ATM's to close early due to rising crime

[Canada Goose]

NEW YORK (PIX11) — New Yorkers looking for some last-minute cash to grab a midnight slice won’t have access to some Chase ATMs in New York City.

The bank announced this week that “several” around-the-clock ATMs will close at the same time as the branches, which is around 5 p.m. or 6 p.m., due to “rising crime and vagrancy.”

Bank of America resolves problem with missing Zelle transactions, company says
“Our apologies. We decide to close several ATM vestibules at 5 PM or 6 PM, aligning the hours of service to that of the normal branch hours, due to rising crime and vagrancy that occurred in these previously 24/7 vestibules,” a company tweet said.

The lockdowns may be temporary, according to a Chase spokesperson. It remained unclear which locations would be affected.

“For the safety of our customers and employees, we may temporarily close some ATMs overnight,” the spokesperson said. “We can’t confirm how many ATMs are affected because it changes constantly.”

Some Chase customers were irked by the inconvenience and fired back at the bank’s announcement on social media.

“If ATMs aren’t available when the bank is closed, what’s the point??” an irate customer said in a tweet.

“Are you going to refund the ATM fees to customers when we get ripped off to use a bodega ATM to pay for our late-night slice of pizza because you can’t provide a basic service to account holders? I didn’t think so,” another customer tweeted.

The company’s customer support service acknowledged the clients’ frustration on social media.

“I know this outcome wasn’t ideal, but your experience is still very important to us,” the customer support account said in a tweet.

Went to an ATM in the city in October and there was a homeless dude in the lobby just chilling. Kept my eyes on a swivel but I needed my cash.

Homeless problem in NYC is a disgrace.

It’s a problem (homelessness) that there will never be a clear cut solution to. Even something straight across the board as “homeless reform” is nothing that can be solved easily.

Reading any comments (like r/San Diego) the answers swing the full pendulum from “help everyone regardless/feel empathy to “fukk em/ stick then all on an island.


Too many differing views, trying to get a plan with this is pretty much not happening.

is crime that bad you closing the atm kiosks??? aint no one out here robbing banks or atm's like that...

We have an enclosed ATM downtown that needs a bank card to open the door. They should implement that in high crime areas.

They're mugging people at the atm not robbing the bank

Even if crime isn't rising measures like this that create inconveniences in people's lives will also guarantee their buy in when it's time to crack down on crime. shyt like this will even bring so-called liberals into the fold.

They already do that, apparently that isn't working. They plan to close it to where you can't go inside period once the main bank closes.

You aren't doing something right if you are using an ATM in 2023...

If you think about it, as long as people can’t build their own housing (and I’m talking about on the simplest level, like making a small hut) on a plots of land then basically there really is no solution.

Going to the ATM at night, pre-pandemic, was sometimes questionable, especially in winter.

It's inconveinient but, I understand why they think this is a viable option.

Let's not take any precautions then since crime happens somewhere else
