If it’s in Hamilton, can it be far from South Batyview? It’s the Personal Assisted Teller (PAT) installed at several locations by the FirstOntario Credit Union. You bank by talking to a real live teller via monitor. The teller might be inside the closed branch, or maybe in another city. Creepy. But it does prevent bank robberies. Thus it become very helpful at high-risk times like Friday afternoon or evenings when holdups frequently take place. FirstOntario calls its service Chat with Pat. CBC.ca
