World's Highest ATM NBP

Such a lovely ATM to visit in Pakistan. A beautiful scenery you can enjoy while getting your cash out. If you are thinking of visiting it, the climate will be super cold but it is enjoyable. The soldiers there are nice and well behaved. You can literally enjoy the snow falling because on the top of a mountain which is around 16K FT approx it can happen anytime.

NBP Pakistan's Highest ATM, situated in the midst of some of the world's most rugged and breathtaking terrain.

Worlds highest functional ATM on khunjerab top.

Imagine driving amid pristine mountains dotting the Pakistan-China border, over 15,000 feet above sea level, and needing cash urgently. There is no need to panic, as the “World’s Highest ATM” is in the vicinity.
It will not just address your currency crunch but accept your bill payments too.
The ATM, claimed the World’s Highest by National Bank of Pakistan, is located at Khunjerab Pass on the mostly snow-capped part of Pakistan-China border at an altitude of 15,397 feet above the sea level.
Khunjerab Pass or Khunjerav is situated in the Karakoram Mountains on the northern border of Pakistan’s Gilgit–Baltistan Hunza – Nagar District on the southwest border of the Xinjiang region of China.
As one can imagine, installing and maintaining this machine isn’t an easy task for the bank. “The initiative faced several challenges of construction and delivery at high altitude. But we are very thankful to our local team, Pakistan Army and local authorities for their support,” said Ovais Asad Khan, Divisional Head, and Strategic Marketing Division.
According to Khan, the project was undertaken after seeking guidance and height requirement from the Guinness Book of World Records. As part of the bank’s Green-Initiative, the ATM is powered by renewable energy, i.e. solar power and wind turbine. It is open 24/7.
Besides tourists, who routinely need to replenish cash, the ATM is also popular with the local population and has become a landmark in the area. “The ATM is on the main highway and starting point of CEPEC (China Pakistan Economic Corridor). This is a very popular tourist site as well and withdrawals are mostly done by tourists,” Khan said.
Sheharzad Kaleem, who visited the area recently as a tourist, was very surprised to find an ATM at such an altitude where there is little else in the surroundings. “I was not expecting an ATM machine at this height. I didn’t need to use it but thought about it just for fun. To be honest, I also didn’t find anyone using the machine,” she said.
Kaleem said she found the idea a great marketing gimmick but was not convinced about its utility. “I didn’t understand the need for it in the middle of the snow where there is hardly anything else. Also, the next town after this pass is Sost which has several ATM machines,” said the tourist who is based in Dubai.

Excellent initiative by NBP to install ATM at Khunjrab border. It is claimed to be highest ATM in world.
It is expected that ATM at this far off location will not be functional round the clock.
Concerned departments are requested to facilitate their employees including security personnel equalant to their counterparts across border.

It was so much cold outside and strong wind was blowing so i decided to enter this ATM booth for a while to warm up my hands by rubbing it together.

Its our pride that world highest ATM is in Pakistan

Although there was some error in the machine, so had to take out from HBL ATM, a little higher than this one.
Had to use the world's highest ATM, so I did 😁.
