Withdraw money from an ATM without using cards
So the next time you need money and don’t have your ATM card, don’t worry. Since QR codes are dynamic, they keep changing with each transaction and hence cannot be copied. Once the transaction is approved on the app, you can withdraw your money. The QR codes you scan on the ATMs are all dynamic so they change for every transaction and cannot be copied.
Using the facility, customers can withdraw cash using their mobile with any application which is UPI enabled like BHIM, Paytm, GPay. Currently functioning ATMs can all be upgraded with new software for this. You will have to scan a new QR code every time you want to withdraw money. This is perhaps tedious but it is the best way to secure your transactions.
This tech allows users to easily withdraw cash from an ATM without a credit or debit card. The City Union Bank has reportedly said that around 1,500 of its ATMs across the country already support this feature. This also ensures that the transaction through this process is secure.
The actual working of this new Technology
- Using the facility, customers can withdraw cash using their mobile with any application which is UPI enabled like BHIM, Paytm, GPay.
