Machines will allow the user to tap their card on a reader, or even use their smartphone, to make a withdrawal

While contactless payment terminals have become ubiquitous in retail outlets, Barclays is set to trial contactless ATMs in a number of its branches.

The bank will unveil 100 contactless machines at 25 branches across “the north”, which will allow customers to withdraw up to £100 without putting their card into the machine, or by using their smartphone instead. The exact locations of the machines have not yet been released, but the bank said they would be rolled out to 180 branches across the UK if the project was a success.
