Revolut to roll out its own ATM (of the future), other banks in PLS

Revolut to roll out its own ATM (of the future), other banks in PLS

This Revolut pilot launch doesn't just modernize the ATM: it rethinks the user experience from A to Z, with embedded technology, futuristic design, and integrated banking services. A world first for the fintech, which plans to expand the concept to other countries by 2026!

New ATMs unlike any other

Clad in an elegant black shell and dominated by a large 32-inch touchscreen, they immediately demonstrate their ambition: to combine ergonomics and innovation. More than just an ATM, this is a true self-service banking hub. Revolut customers can make free and unlimited withdrawals, order a physical bank card instantly, and even open an account on site in just a few minutes. All within an intuitive multilingual interface, designed for both residents and tourists. Security is not left out, with end-to-end encryption and biometric authentication coming soon.

Spain was chosen as the testing ground, a strategic choice: with more than 60% of payments still made in cash in the country, demand for withdrawal services remains strong. Madrid and Barcelona will host the first 50 machines, before a rollout to Valencia, Malaga, and other major cities. Eventually, Revolut aims for 200 ATMs across the country!

A much broader ambition

By installing its own physical points of contact, Revolut is seeking to fill a gap in its strategy: its on-site presence. These terminals allow the fintech to enter the public space, attract new customers, and establish a previously exclusively digital image. A tangible bridge between the digital world of mobile banking and very real everyday needs.

In terms of features, this ATM ticks all the boxes because it allows for fee-free withdrawals, including international ones, with the same competitive exchange rates as those offered in the app. Customers of other banks can also use it, for a transparent fee. Soon, a dynamic conversion function (DCC) will even offer them a choice of exchange rates in real time. Another upcoming innovation: the acceptance of cash deposits, planned for an upcoming update. And for users in a hurry, a simple mobile wallet or facial recognition will be enough to authenticate, without even inserting a card.

With this launch, Revolut is not just renovating the aesthetics: it is dusting off a tool that has remained virtually unchanged for decades. The ATM is becoming a customer acquisition tool, but also a physical ambassador for a 100% digital brand. For Manjot Bhatia, operational partner at Revolut, "this launch marks a key step: we want to offer a truly seamless and comprehensive experience." With these machines, Revolut wants to make a big impact. It remains to be seen how the model will adapt to other European markets.
