Elmwood Park, NJ – Get ready for the banking experience your dog has been waiting for! TD Bank is officially rolling out its wildly popular, and now patented, “Dog ATM”—or Automated Treat Machine—to New Jersey this month, giving local canines a chance to make their own delicious “withdrawals.”

After a viral debut in Philadelphia last year, the interactive, paw-activated treat dispensers are expanding to 14 locations across the TD Bank footprint, with the Garden State snagging two prime spots in Cranford and Elmwood Park.
Cranford Launch: Caricatures and Prizes (October 11)
The first New Jersey branch to host the Dog ATM launch will be Cranford!
- When: Friday, October 11, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
- Where: TD Bank, 465 South Ave. East, Cranford, NJ
- Event Highlights: The launch celebration will feature prizes, giveaways, and treats for both human guests and their canine companions. Plus, an on-site caricature artist will be available to sketch complimentary portraits of you and your beloved pet!
Elmwood Park Event: Adoptions and Food Trucks (October 18)
A week later, the fun moves north to Bergen County for a second celebration:
- When: Friday, October 18, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
- Where: TD Bank, 600 Market St., Elmwood Park, NJ
- Event Highlights: This paw-ty includes an exciting dog-themed food truck and a heartwarming adoption event in partnership with Good Karma Dog Rescue—a chance to add a new family member!
Why the Dog ATM is a Big Deal
The enthusiasm is palpable. “Last year when TD Bank debuted the now patented Dog ATM in Philadelphia, NJ was quick to ask, where’s ours?!” said Curtis George Kelly, TD Bank’s regional communications lead.
The expansion to New Jersey, following successful launches in Boston and Philadelphia, proves that banking doesn’t have to be boring—and that the love for pets is universal. Mark your calendars and prepare for a day of fun, treats, and furry friends!
