Travelex has replaced 600 ATMs across eight countries with new technology.

The foreign exchange business partnered with NCR Atleo to roll out a number of new features, including contactless cash withdrawals, for machines in the UK, Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Czech Republic, Australia and New Zealand.

The new ATMs will have touch screens, barcode readers, and contactless readers in certain territories.

Travelex said that the ability to withdraw cash without physically inserting a card isn’t yet widespread across many territories but will now be offered to Travelex customers across select ATMs in some of the European markets.

The new ATMs also support Travelex's click and collect function which enables customers in the UK to pre-order foreign cash online at Travelex’s best possible rate before collecting it from more than 50 key airport ATM locations in the UK.

“Travelex is dedicated to simplifying our customers’ access to international money, however and whenever they choose, and our expanded partnership with Atleos directly supports this mission,” said Simon Jackson, chief customer officer from Travelex. “By relying on the experts at NCR Atleos for the implementation of modern ATM technology, we gain efficiencies and streamlined operations while adding value for our customers, ensuring travellers across the globe have reliable, secure and easy access to their cash.”
