Where ATM - search for ATMs in Ukraine now on the iPhone
When I wrote a post that started the service GdeBankomat , looking for ATMs on the territory of Ukraine and showing them on the map, I did not expect what would happen.
And this is what happened: firstly, the service was interested in many more people than I expected, and secondly, I received an offer from finance.ua, a very strange offer (in the end, nothing came of it) and most importantly - Slavik Bushtruk ( slatvick ) from Alterplay and his team offered and made an application for the iPhone.

We all somehow looked for ATMs in a foreign city. Search for ATMs on the bank's website, then launch Google Maps and enter the address - you can. But it is long and not always convenient. Especially for this, I first created the gdebankomat.com website, and then the iPhone application appeared.
Immediately after the opening of the program - we will determine your location and show the nearest ATMs. For each ATM (and bank), we also show basic information: a telephone hotline and a website.
You can also choose an ATM from the list of banks. At the moment there are 50 banks in our database and more than 12,000 ATMs. Unfortunately, it is difficult to cover all-all-all banks (for example, UkrSibBank, BrokBusinessBank, Prominvest), but we are constantly working on it so that the application always has up-to-date information.
If there is no ATM at the specified location (this also happens :() there is always an opportunity to warn us and other users about this.
The main problems are only two. And both are related to banks. Unfortunately, no more or less large bank or processing center went to meet us. We still can not get fresh information from banks on ATMs. For PrivatBank, we parse their API, for PUMB and its Radius network and Atmosphere network, we use Excel files with ATMs. For part of the remaining banks, we choose by hand .
The second problem is not the relevance of the databases of the banks themselves. We were surprised to find that data on sites is rarely updated and late. And PrivatBank turns out to have its own internal API, which is used in their own application and which they are not in a hurry to share.
The Alterplay team promised in the near future to implement a search on ATM networks, and I, in turn, are engaged in maintaining the relevance of the database and adding new banks.
Also in the plans:

Why do I need a program
We all somehow looked for ATMs in a foreign city. Search for ATMs on the bank's website, then launch Google Maps and enter the address - you can. But it is long and not always convenient. Especially for this, I first created the gdebankomat.com website, and then the iPhone application appeared.
How it works
Immediately after the opening of the program - we will determine your location and show the nearest ATMs. For each ATM (and bank), we also show basic information: a telephone hotline and a website.
You can also choose an ATM from the list of banks. At the moment there are 50 banks in our database and more than 12,000 ATMs. Unfortunately, it is difficult to cover all-all-all banks (for example, UkrSibBank, BrokBusinessBank, Prominvest), but we are constantly working on it so that the application always has up-to-date information.
If there is no ATM at the specified location (this also happens :() there is always an opportunity to warn us and other users about this.
What problems did we have
The main problems are only two. And both are related to banks. Unfortunately, no more or less large bank or processing center went to meet us. We still can not get fresh information from banks on ATMs. For PrivatBank, we parse their API, for PUMB and its Radius network and Atmosphere network, we use Excel files with ATMs. For part of the remaining banks, we choose by hand .
The second problem is not the relevance of the databases of the banks themselves. We were surprised to find that data on sites is rarely updated and late. And PrivatBank turns out to have its own internal API, which is used in their own application and which they are not in a hurry to share.
Future plans
The Alterplay team promised in the near future to implement a search on ATM networks, and I, in turn, are engaged in maintaining the relevance of the database and adding new banks.
Also in the plans:
- more information on banks and ATMs: opening hours, currency, photo, CashIn
- comments on ATMs, statuses (no money, broken)
- offline mode
- sorting settlements by distance
