Geldmaat makes it possible to withdraw notes without inserting your debit card. The special NFC reader can be used by holding a card or mobile phone, for example. Similar to contactless payment at a cash register.

A large part of the ATMs will be equipped with the NFC reader by the end of 2024. Whether it works can be seen by the illuminated NFC reader and the contactless logo on the screen. Each bank will decide if, how and when they will allow their customers to use this feature on Geldmaat ATMs.

With NFC, transactions are faster and there is less chance of malfunctions. Contactless cash withdrawal also makes the ATM more accessible for people with physical disabilities. The customer only needs to hold the card at the reader to start the transaction.
