CHERRY HILL, N.J., Jan. 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- TD Bank, America's Most Convenient Bank, in partnership with Cardtronics, recently branded 189 ATMs in Walgreens locations across Florida, specifically the Miami and Tampa-St. Petersburg metro areas, increasing its ATM population in the state by 96 percent. This provides TD Bank customers with added convenience and fee-free access to their cash in more places.

The TD Bank-branded in-store ATM installation follows the company's expansion last summer in Boston-area Walgreens locations.

"Fast, convenient access to cash is a priority for consumers," said Ernie Diaz, Regional President, TD Bank. "We've expanded our ATM footprint to select Walgreens locations in Florida to provide our customers even more options for accessing funds where, when, and how they need to. And with TD ATMs in more locations, we're also helping our customers avoid fees."

More ATMs make life easier
A new study by TD Bank found that although the majority of respondents (71 percent) primarily use their debit card for everyday purchases like gas, coffee, and groceries, visiting the ATM for cash is still a regular part of their routine.


    --  More than half of respondents (61 percent) visit the ATM once a month or
        more.
    --  Baby boomers lead the way, with 65 percent visiting the ATM for cash
        regularly (at least once a month), holding a slight edge over Gen Xers
        (63 percent) and millennials (60 percent).
    --  Of those visiting ATMs monthly, more than one-third (35 percent) are
        returning once a week or more. Gen Xers are the most frequent visitors,
        with 40 percent stopping by at least weekly, while 36 percent of boomers
        and 26 percent of millennials do the same.
    --  Men are burning through cash at a faster rate, with one in four
        reporting that they visit an ATM at least once a week, compared to 17
        percent of women.

It's all about the Benjamins
 Americans aren't carrying big bills: when visiting the ATM, 70 percent of respondents withdraw $200 or less.


    --  Of those withdrawing $200 or less, more than three out of four
        respondents (78 percent) withdraw $100 or less.
    --  Women lead the way here: 83 percent withdraw $100 or less, compared to
        74 percent of men.

The bank branch is alive and well
 Although consumers are increasingly choosing digital and online options to manage their daily tasks, sometimes there's no substitute for a face-to-face interaction. Consumers visit bank branches slightly more often than they visit ATMs, with boomers again leading the way.


    --  64 percent of respondents visit a bank branch at least once a month.
    --  68 percent of boomers go to the bank once a month or more, followed by
        Gen X and millennials (both 63 percent).
