Contactless Automated Teller Machine (ATM) and Cardless Automated Teller Machine (ATM) Market Report 2025

The contactless automated teller machine (ATM) and cardless automated teller machine (ATM) market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.64 billion in 2024 to $3.02 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.3%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the rise in smartphone adoption, increased use of mobile banking apps, growing concerns over card fraud, consumer demand for faster transactions, expansion of NFC technology, and the shift toward cashless and digital payment ecosystems.

The contactless automated teller machine (ATM) and cardless automated teller machine (ATM) market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.09 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.9%. The growth expected in the forecast period is driven by rising demand for touch-free banking solutions, increased adoption of mobile wallets, expansion of digital banking infrastructure, heightened concerns over card skimming and fraud, and supportive government initiatives promoting cashless economies. Key trends in the forecast period include integration of biometric authentication, wider adoption of NFC and QR code technologies, improved mobile app compatibility, AI-driven fraud detection, cloud-based transaction processing, and implementation of multi-language and voice-assisted user interfaces.

The growing demand for contactless transactions is anticipated to drive the expansion of the contactless automated teller machine (ATM) and cardless automated teller machine (ATM) market moving forward. Contactless transactions involve payments made by simply tapping a card or device near a compatible terminal, removing the need for physical contact or PIN entry. The increase in demand for contactless transactions is due to their ability to provide a faster checkout experience, reduce physical contact at payment points, and meet rising consumer expectations for seamless digital payments. Contactless ATMs and cardless ATMs facilitate secure and hygienic contactless transactions by allowing users to withdraw cash or carry out banking operations using smartphones, QR codes, or contactless cards without inserting a physical card. For example, in September 2023, UK Finance, a UK-based financial services trade association, reported that contactless payments using debit and credit cards reached 17 billion in 2022, a 30% rise from 13.1 billion transactions in 2021. Additionally, the average value of contactless payments increased to approximately $19.1 (£15.10) in 2022 from about $16.0 (£12.66) the previous year. Therefore, the rising preference for contactless transactions is fueling growth in the contactless and cardless ATM market.

Key players in the contactless and cardless ATM market are focusing on developing advanced technological solutions such as contactless ATM access to improve user convenience, shorten transaction times, and boost security. Contactless ATM access allows users to perform ATM transactions by tapping a contactless-enabled card or device on the ATM, eliminating the need to insert a physical card. For instance, in November 2023, Co-op Solutions, a US financial services company, introduced contactless ATM access for all NCR Atleos ATMs, with plans to extend the feature to Diebold Nixdorf and Hyosung Innovue machines by 2024. This innovation enables credit union members to tap their debit cards for quicker transactions, averaging just 15 seconds - over 50% faster than using magnetic stripe cards. The system does not require API integration for credit unions or vendors. Co-op emphasizes the speed, security, and modern user experience as key benefits, enhancing customer satisfaction and strengthening credit unions’ roles in members’ daily financial activities.

In November 2024, Travelex International Limited, a UK foreign exchange company, collaborated with NCR Atleos to revamp its ATM network. This partnership aims to modernize Travelex’s ATM infrastructure across multiple countries with advanced hardware and software, offering secure and convenient self-service currency access, including features such as contactless withdrawals, and improving reliability for travelers at key locations. This initiative is designed to elevate customer experience and operational efficiency. NCR Atleos, a US-based ATM service provider, specializes in ATM technology and related services, including contactless ATM solutions.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the financial sector, particularly in investment strategies and risk management. Heightened tariffs have fueled market volatility, prompting cautious behavior among institutional investors and increasing demand for hedging instruments. Banks and asset managers are facing higher costs associated with cross-border transactions, as tariffs disrupt global supply chains and dampen corporate earnings, key drivers of equity market performance. Insurance companies, meanwhile, are grappling with increased claims risks tied to supply chain disruptions and trade-related business losses. Additionally, reduced consumer spending and weakened export demand are constraining credit growth and investment appetite. The sector must now prioritize diversification, digital transformation, and robust scenario planning to navigate the heightened economic uncertainty and protect profitability.

Contactless and cardless Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) are advanced banking solutions designed to improve convenience, security, and hygiene during financial transactions. These ATMs enable users to conduct banking operations without physically inserting a card into the machine.
