Chase Bank on Wednesday announced that customers can now use Apple Pay, as well as other mobile wallet services, at nearly all all of the company’s 16,000 ATMs, which have been upgraded with card-free access.
To access an ATM and withdraw money, customers no longer need a physical debit card or access code for authentication, with the contactless ATMs supporting a “tap” from a smartphone to use the ATM.
iPhone users can add a Chase card to the Wallet app, then later open the Wallet app, select the virtual Chase car and tap the “Cardless” icon on the ATM prior to authenticating via Face ID or Touch ID.
Users will still need to enter a PIN code for verification, although Chase card users won’t need to pull out their actual debit card from their wallets.
Chase says that cardless ATM access is available to all customers with a Chase debit or Liquid card that’s been added to Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Samsung Pay. All Chase ATMs with the Cardless symbol support Apple Pay.
Chase had first announced plans to update its ATMs with contactless features in 2016 and has slowly rolled out the technology since then. Today’s announcement indicates that this rollout is mostly complete and available to the majority of Chase customers in the United States.
Both Wells Fargo and Bank of America, Chase competitors, have also been rolling out card-free Apple Pay access to ATMs. Wells Fargo added Apple Pay support to over 5,000 ATMs last year, while Bank of America began implementing the feature in 2016.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
