La Caxia, Spain’s third largest financial institution, has deployed the world’s first ATMs to support contactless credit and debit cards.
Equipped with contactless technology from Fujitsu, the ATMs enable customers to make cash withdrawals and other transactions by simply tapping their contactless bank card against a reader and entering their PIN.
According to La Caxia, the new machines offer the fastest ATM cash withdrawal system on the market.
The ATMs are already up and running in Barcelona, Sitges and Palma, with more to come in the Balearic Islands and Catalonia over the next few weeks.
