A trip to the bank just got a lot more exciting for New Jersey dogs who accompany their owners on errands, in at least two towns.

More than a year ago in Philadelphia, TD Bank debuted its Dog ATM, which stands for automated treat machine.

Viral Dog ATM ‘spotted’ in Philly finally comes to NJ

Even on Facebook video of the South Broad Street branch launch in May 2024, comments included how great it would be to see these dog-friendly machines over the Delaware River in New Jersey.

This month, TD is launching Dog ATMs in two New Jersey towns, as it brings the total number available to 14 along the East Coast, from Maine to Florida.

Over the next two weekends, New Jersey will see promotional launches of its Dog ATMs with giveaways and treats, for humans and for canine family members.
