Cash is still a necessity sometimes (a surprisingly large number of bars only accept cash in SF) but an ATM is never that far away and most likely faster than a courier.

@rrhoover I believe this was originally inspired by @jordancooper .. Link above.

@rrhoover Also where are the mentions of security or protections? This seems like a great way for a brutal armed robbery.
Dylan Campbell
@rrhoover Good points, also ATM fees are usually less than or equal to $5.

Great way to make yourself look like a street corner drug dealer too.

I'm confused how they make money, even if they layer in tips - $5 isn't enough to pay the couriers.
Ryan Detzel
@_jacksmith Yup, this just doesn't scale. Maybe if it was a percent but at $5 they have to make 30 deliveries a day to make it worth wild.

@jordancooper often mentions this from time to time in the wildcard office, fun to see it come to fruition in a way. I always thought if someone was to do it, it'd be built on the "venmo graph" and be more peer to peer than courier - worker based.

This is laziness and I'm disappointed it got on Product hunt. What's next Uber for coffee because you can't find a Starbucks? Come on...

@mzuvella disappointed it got on product hunt? it's a democracy, people vote for what they want they find interesting. This just got posted on TechCrunch as well, so i think that it definitely fits the audience.

@_jacksmith Maybe I hold PH to a higher standard than TC...

@_jacksmith Nimbl is meant to be an alternative to getting cash in real time without having to go to an ATM. nnThis product isn't for everyone, for those who find value in this type of service will most likely use it again. nnIt's a tad bit unfair to say what should & shouldn't be on Product Hunt based on subjectivity. nnTry it out... You might change your opinion nnAlways welcome constructive feedback!nnxoxonNadsnn

Definitely not an everyday app, but there have been a couple times that I wished something like this existed (Forgetting my debit card in SF on a trip to NY, and waiting on a replacement card from BofA) Also, for anyone wondering. It's free for a limited time, and then will go up to $5 per delivery - so for the time being, no service fees.

Seems like this would be better served starting in Williamsburg where a ton of restaurants are still cash only. I rarely run into any cash only places in Manhattan, and they have all the atms anyway. There are barely any big banks in north brooklyn and many of the restaurants or bars operate on a cash only basis. I would consider using it then.
