A new style of phone box is hitting UK high streets. The Travelex-branded red, white and blue kiosks have an ATM on the exterior of one side and a payphone on the other.
For security, the ATMs will have an ink-staining system – a DNA-traceable, indelible powder that stains everything, including the cash, if an attempt is made to steal from the kiosk. If initial trials of this joint venture by BT Payphones and Travelex UK are successful, then up to 300 will be rolled out in the UK this month.
