Top Impacting Factors
Increased Penetration of Smartphones
One of the main factors propelling the growth of the cardless automated teller machine (ATM) industry is the rising adoption of smartphones. The expanding sales of affordable smartphones have increased the penetration of smartphones in emerging nations. Furthermore, low-cost smartphones are integrated with several features that are usually available in high-end smartphones. Moreover, smartphones can link to other NFC-enabled devices in cardless ATMs via the peer-to-peer communication mechanism, allowing for the transfer of data. Further, a smartphone can read QR codes shown on an ATM screen in QR code verification. Therefore, this factor is responsible for driving the cardless ATM market’s growth.
In addition, to improve customer experience with better service, various market players are adopting different key strategies to drive their revenue growth opportunities that propel the cardless ATM market’s growth. For instance, in June 2020, Empays Payment Systems, which runs the IMT Payment System, announced a partnership with Mastercard to launch a ‘Cardless ATM powered by Mastercard’ in India. The facility helps users digitally locate the nearest enabled ATM and initiate a withdrawal by simply scanning a QR code on their mobile phone, using their banking app.
Security and Convenience Offered by Cardless ATMs
Since consumers often demand two things that can be inherently contradictory which include increased convenience and increased security. With respect to banking, these two can be offered by banks for instance a cardless ATM. Although world economies continue to shift towards cashless transactions and digital currency and payments, cash remains the prevalent payment method across the world. Furthermore, consumers get cash from ATMs. But consumer convenience, concerns about ATM fraud devices, and the necessities of the COVID pandemic have made consumers warier about ATM usage. Cardless ATMs help resolve these issues, eliminating a card from the user’s wallet and reducing the overall amount of contact consumers have with common surfaces such as ATM screens or keypads. Therefore, these are the factors propelling the growth of the cardless ATM market.
Increase in Adoption of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
Increased technological advancements are going to create profitable opportunities for banks and other institutions to scale up ATM service strategies and increase business revenues. Furthermore, the incorporation of technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT), and others will help in executing the better contactless payment.
For instance, in August 2021, National Australia Bank Limited (NAB) and Microsoft collaborated to design a proof-of-concept Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) using cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) technology. The cloud-based application, developed using Azure Cognitive Services, has been designed to improve the customer experience by removing the need for physical cards or devices to access cash from ATMs. Instead, through the concept, a customer who opted into the service would be able to withdraw cash from an ATM using facial recognition technology and a PIN. Therefore, these factors will provide major lucrative opportunities for the growth of the cardless ATM market.
