Bank of Hawaii's new Bankoh BankMobile will debut its money on the move at the fifth annual Hawaii Book & Music Festival May 15-16 on the grounds of Honolulu Hale.

The vehicle is equipped with two wireless automatic teller machines which meet height standards consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act, as well as an electronic ignition kill-switch, audible and silent alarms and a GPS tracker.

The mobile bank normally will be found at the Aloha Stadium Swap Meet on Wednesdays and weekends, but is also available to other organizations. It might travel to the neighbor islands in the future.

To help introduce the BankMobile, Bankoh is staging a drawing for a flight for two to Las Vegas each day from Monday through May 14.

Contestants must find the mobile bank based on clues broadcast on KSSK-FM 92.3/AM 590 or one of its sister stations and enter at the mobile branch.
