Bank Leumi customers may soon notice improvements at the bank's ATMs, as CEO Hanan Friedman revealed that upgrades are underway to significantly shorten transaction times. Friedman disclosed the planned enhancements in response to a customer's query on X (formerly Twitter) about slow ATM speeds compared to other banks. While Friedman did not directly confirm if Leumi's ATMs are indeed slower, he assured the user that "improvements and upgrades are expected to significantly shorten execution times and the overall service experience at ATMs." Specific details about the changes or a launch date for the upgrades were not provided.
Friedman's direct engagement on X follows his initiative to open a direct channel with the public on the platform. Shortly after joining, he invited users to share their concerns and suggestions for improvement at the bank. This led to hundreds of responses covering various aspects of customer service and bank operations, including the ATM issue.
This direct communication has already spurred several developments. Previously, Friedman addressed the inconvenience for small business owners needing to visit a branch to open a company account, acknowledging it as a "serious failure" and promising full digital account opening by the end of 2026. He also used his X account to publicly criticize Facebook over fraudulent advertisements, noting Leumi's ongoing lawsuit against the tech giant and urging others to join the fight against such scams.
