2022 has been the year of contactless ATM transactions because of Covid-19 since most consumers who use ATM’s don’t want to physically touch an ATM to complete their transactions.
The demand for contactless ATMs has led ATM companies to adopt the use of biometrics solutions like facial recognition, NFC and QR code readers, and mobile applications, so that their customers don’t have to physically touch ATMs.
With cardless transactions being the “new normal”, this segment of the payments market is projected to grow to $10.3 billion by the end of 2020 and $18.0 billion by early 2025, a CAGR of 11.7%.
