Interbold involved in Aussie project.

Interbold is providing the automated teller machines for Commonwealth Bank in Sydney, one of Australia's largest banks, which has opened a portable banking facility.

The project, called Mobile-Bank, is a full-service bank branch located in a vehicle almost as large as a standard bus.

It offers the same types of services as a regular bank branch, including opening accounts and making account and loan inquiries, cash withdrawals, and deposits.

Two InterBold i series cash dispensers are available outside the vehicle.

The branch communicates account information directly to the bank's main computers via a satellite disk.

Interbold is the joint venture between Diebold Inc. and International Business Machines Corp.
