TALKING ATM BANK

I order two banks. one bank worked but the other bank came broken. The broken band ran hot and it never turn on. I returned it for a new bank. The new bank works and my little girl loves her bank. If you are looking for a good bank for the kids this band might be for you.

Every time this bank says "I am your personal ATM machine" I crack up. My son rolls his eyes when I say "the bank doesn't even know how to say its own name". Haha! It is very simplistic where you enter the amount you are "depositing" on the screen and it keeps track of the total. It does not count the change or bills entered into the slots. The inside is just a cavity and the coins get caught in the hinge of the front door so I've thought of putting a small container under the change slot to catch the coins (which don't even need to go into the slot since the amount is calculated on what is entered onto the screen). My son loves it though so we continue to "deposit" my change in it at the end of each day.

Got it as a gift for my grandson. He loved it! It was the number 1 thing he wanted for Christmas. Great piggy bank idea. Totally manual. Inserts money using a dial and a coin slot. YOU punch in the amount you added for the calculator to track your balance. A little pricey for being mostly plastic. Needs a code to unlock money chamber.

I hate giving bad reviews, but I have to be honest and tell people what I would've liked to have known before buying this. Here's what I expected vs what it actually is. There is NO pin with debit card. I bought 2, one for my son and one for my daughter, and expected them to be able to secure their atm with a pin - there is no pin, just the card which works with both machines. When you put the card in, you choose withdraw, deposit, or balance. Withdraw or deposit, you manually enter the amount and then press enter. This is a basic calculator function and nothing exciting for kids as the there is no prompt after entering the amount. When depositing, I was hoping that when feeding the money into the machine that it was motorized and would pull it in (like a real ATM machine), it does not, you have to manually turn a cheap plastic knob on the side to pull the money in. Not only is this super boring, but it's time consuming. It gets worse. If you choose withdraw, you have to turn a tiny knob on the bottom flap that has a 2 number combination. Again, this is not secure if you have multiple kids as both machines have the same combination #. The knob is small and vey difficult to turn. Not only that, but the combination is not necessarily easy for a kid to remember - turn the knob clockwise until you hear clicking, stop on 10 and then turn it counterclockwise and stop on 12. This is not only incredibly boring, but very difficult as the knob does not easily turn and you can barely see the numbers. Once you get it open, it's very anticlimactic as there's no sound, just a cheap plastic flap opening to a messy pile of money, coins, etc that you have to sort through and then stuff back in to close. I uploaded a video showing this - depositing cash and withdrawing the money with the combo. Boring, time consuming, and cheap This is more of a chore than anything else. It doesn't even count the coins... just an open plastic slot where the coins fall through. I obviously assume a lot with this thing without actually diving very deep into its actual features, but I assumed with the higher price point that it would have all features of a cheap one, plus some. It does not. Very disappointing to say the least. There are other machines that resemble a safe on Amazon that work so much better and are actually fun to use. They let the kids set a secure 4 digit pin, has a motorized feeder that pulls in the money, and a large "vault door" with sounds that you can turn after entering the correct pin. You still have to sort through whatever is in their to get what you want, but it's a much larger space that's easy to see without having to pull everything out, but most importantly, IT'S FUN TO USE! This "ATM" is not fun at all. I would absolutely not buy this!!! The safe-looking machine on Amazon costs less and is a million times better

I have to admit, I am disappointed! I am not disappointed in the toy, but more by the description and price. In the past, we have owned other banks that have counted the coins. You need to know this does not count for you. In many ways, this is a good thing and a great way to learn. However, I would expect the price point to be lower. The ATM itself is great. Add three AA batteries, swipe your ATM card and your ATM is now "on". Want to make a deposit? Press "deposit" and how much you are putting in. Your ATM will keep a tally going! Want to add bills? You put them in the slot, turn the knob and in it goes. Again, you manually add your deposit. Want to make a withdrawal? Press "withdrawal" and enter the amount. Use your combination (2 numbers - preset) to open your ATM and take out your money. Your ATM comes complete with lights and sounds. For the price, I would have liked to have seen it do a bit more. I just don't see the price point of $45.

Read the directions. Check the box for the debit card. You have to insert the debit card to make it work. We opened the box took out the ATM machine and threw the box away. I had to get the box out the trash bag reached in the bottom to find directions and the msgical debit card. One thig I wish was different. If they could add a sticker or on button what if the debit card gets lost! No access to the bank again.

My great-granddaughter loved it. Unfortunately, her little brother wasn't satisfied with his little piggy bank---I had to buy a second one for him. According to their mom, they play with it all the time. Teaches them about money and, hopefully, saving.

Kids loved it

Magnífico le encantó a mi sobrino nieto de 11 años, está muy divertido, excelente regalo para niños

Good for kids to start saving money.

Product are very good but India coransy not attached

I gave this to my son as a birthday present. He got it out of the box, put new batteries in it, turned it on and immediately the drawer would not open. We never could get it to open. So it was completely useless. Apparently we are not the only people to have this problem. I tried to contact Amazon about a refund but as I had waited until my son's birthday to give it to him we were just outside the returns period :( I wish I had read the reviews before purchasing - I hope this saves someone else's kid from disappointment!
