Drivers who bank with Sharjah Islamic Bank can now withdraw cash without even leaving the comfort of their car thanks to a new 'drive-thru' ATM.

The lender said on Saturday the new ATM is located on Lake Khalid in Sharjah near the Holiday Inn International Hotel.

The location was chosen to make the ATM available to the maximum number of customers, both drivers and pedestrians, it said.
