Finally, Mastercard is Developing Cardless ATM

MasterCard Cash Pickup is designed to allow ATMs deliver cash to authenticated consumers without the use of an ATM card. With this service, customers, both banked and unbanked, use their mobile phones at a special ATM to convert Cash PickUp order.

On the other hand, Cardless ATM powered by MasterCard is another truly revolutionary service. It allows bank customers to make cash withdrawals from a close by ATM using their bank’s mobile app. MasterCard calls the solution secure “since the majority of the transaction is handled through the banking app and the cloud, sensitive information is never exposed.”

We’re teaming up with @Mastercard to bring the physical and digital worlds of #cash + #mobile closer than ever. See how this strategic partnership will enhance the #CX through convenience & #security: https://t.co/VajzTXr31C pic.twitter.com/vd8Uhz37Uq
