The Automatic Bell Dispenser (ABD), also known as the Bellpoint, is a machine similar to an Automatic Teller Machine (ATM). The ABD allows you to access the Bank of Nintendo, from which you can pay your mortgage to Tom Nook, withdraw and deposit Bells, or reissue a Shopping Card. 0.5% interest is given on the first of each month. The ABD is only featured in Animal Crossing: City Folk and Animal Crossing: New Leaf, with personal savings accounts handled at the Post Office desk in previous games.

After 10,000 Bells have been deposited into a bank account in City Folk, the bank will send a Shopping Card (which is also referred to simply as a card) in the mail. This card works in the same way as a debit card, allowing the player to spend money in their bank account without carrying the Bells around. A Golden Card can be obtained by becoming a VIP at the bank, when a total of 1,000,000 Bells has been deposited into the account. It works the same way as the regular shopping card.
Unlockable Items

- 100,000,000 Bells will result in a Mailbox furniture piece.
- 500,000,000 Bells will result in a Gold Shopping card being mailed and replacing the regular Shopping Card.
- 999,999,999 Bells will result in a functional ABD furniture piece.
