For those needing some cold, hard money, MasterCard has released an ATM Hunter application for BlackBerry, allowing you to quickly home in on cash machines close to your GPS location, or within the area of a designated address. ATMs can be filtered based on what services you’re looking for: drive-through, 24-hour access, wheelchair access, and even find which ones don’t have an added surcharge.
As handy as this app is, I think Zoompass is a much more interesting mobile project that MasterCard is involved with, but depending on where you spend your time, it might be hard finding a cash machine – I would cache this one on your microSD card for those odd situations. MasterCard has ATM Hunter available for iPhone as well, along with a few other mobile services, if you’re looking to get your phone totally decked-out.
