Yes. Before there were ATMs (Yes, I'm old) there were drive-through tellers, and they were replaced with ATMs before there were walk-up ATMs. Then walk-ups were given extra terminals as walk traffic increased and drive-throughs were phased out, replaced with nearby short-term parking.
He may not know that in the US drive up atms are common. In other parts of the world they aren’t. I’ve never seen one here in colombia as an example of a country that doesn’t have them. All the atms here are inside the bank to dissuade theft.
