Useless bank cashpoints

My bank has an ATM cashpoint but only inside the bank, so I can't use it unless the bank is open for business. The whole point of the ATM is for access to money when banks are shut. I like banks with extra machines inside, but a bank that has none outside is just stupid. I'm not a fan of getting cash or bank statements out of machines in public in general but often the machines are essential to me.

Mine is as stupid as yours. They used to have an ATM machine outdoors, and they installed it indoors
. They told me that their ATM had been hacked... Same thing happened with the mailbox they had to deposit checks, and there is now a key closing it during the night and on Sundays. My card works in the ATM machines of other banks, but I have realized that many banks are doing the same, and that it will be soon difficult to get money after business hours. It is crazy : they sold me a credit card to not have to queue, and because it was supposed to work 24/24 and now that ATM machines have replaced employees, they are also working at business hours
