Sparkasse customers can look forward to a new feature at the company’s ATMs. It will also be possible to withdraw money using a smartphone in the future.
Savings Bank customers now have even more freedom when withdrawing money. Like the “Caschy Blog” page reported, the company is launching contactless pickup via smartphone. Previously, Sparkasse customers could already get their money contactless via Girocard at some machines. In the future, smartphones should suffice for this.
The process is carried out on Android smartphones through the application “mobile payment“. iPhone users turn to Apple wallet. If you are at an ATM with NFC function, you need to unlock the device, launch the corresponding application, and hold the smartphone on the marked place on the machine.
Sparkasse allows withdrawals via smartphone
The ATM’s NFC interface now reads the digital card on the smartphone and enables the “Withdraw Money” option at the machine. However, the card PIN is still required for the process at the end. Therefore, it is not possible to withdraw money without contact. However, some Sparkasse customers will probably prefer this option because they don’t have to carry their wallet with them.
The step taken by the savings bank is not only a relief to its own customers, but also a signal to the competition. Recently, the Volks- und Raiffeisenbanken decided to stop withdrawing money via smartphones. The savings bank may also be targeting competitor customers who are now losing this feature.
