Contactless technology for ATMs?

Contactless technology is already available for ATM cash withdrawals, with some pilot studies in operation. The European ATM Security Team (EAST) ran a website poll on this topic from October to December 2013.

74% of respondents indicated that they would be happy to use this technology (card or smartphone) to make an ATM withdrawal. 67% would happy to do this with a PIN and 7% without a PIN, while 26% indicated that they would not want to use the technology.

What do you think about ATMs?

As 2010 draws to a close, it is once again time to reflect on a year passed and to look ahead with anticipation, excitement or trepidation to the next. One thing seems pretty certain.....self service terminals, including ATMs are becoming more and more part of our lives. There are now over 2 million ATMs globally and the number is set to keep increasing as growth blossoms in less developed parts of the world.

Yet do we take them foregranted? The European ATM Security Team (EAST) runs regular online research polls to catch the views of all ATM users. These are just snapshots, but they do have a part to play in influencing the players in the industry. Visit the EAST Research Page to take the current poll and to download the results of past polls.
