Starting last week, over 300 ATMs from ATM manufacturer In2Retail have begun showing photos of missing children on their screensavers.
For now, the Amber Alert-compatible ATMs are only installed in selected locations, such as international airports (in Amsterdam and Rotterdam), some national airports, but also in large shopping malls and near popular tourist attractions.

The ATMs will be able to show to types of alerts. One is an Amber alert (when the life of the child is in immediate danger), and the other is a Dutch-specific alert, not as urgent as an Amber alert, called a Vermist Kind Alert (when authorities are extremely worried about the wellbeing of a missing child).

The Netherlands is the first country who developed a system that can show these alerts on ATM screensavers.

"We are very pleased with this new and innovative partnership and we hope other countries will follow this great example," said Frank Hoen, Founder and Chairman of AMBER Alert Europe.
