“Customers simply call 1-877-FIND-ATM, and state their coordinates to request the location of the nearest MasterCard ATM. The new service, which works will all major mobile carriers in the U.S. is provided by MasterCard to cardholders free of charge (carrier text message rates may apply).

“Each year, two million cardholders contact MasterCard via either telephone or the website specifically to find the location of nearby ATMs; some 70 percent of inquiries are received from international travelers venturing outside their home country.”
