This article talks about Absa cardless withdrawal. Absa is a South African-based financial services group. It offers;
- Firstly, personal and business banking,
- Secondly, credit cards,
- Thirdly, corporate and investment banking,
- Fourthly, wealth and investment management,
- And lastly, bank assurance.
ABSA launched a cardless withdrawal function on its Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs). The idea behind the cardless withdrawal is that it is enabling their customers to withdraw cash on any Absa ATMs using a QR Code scanned through the Absa mobile application on their smartphones. Why withdraw from the ATM without a card? It was because of the Pandemic –COVID-19! ABSA cares so much about its clients that it created a way for them to withdraw their money without touching the ATM machines. Imagine how many people would get infected during the day if one sick person with COVID touched the ATM while withdrawing money. So, this cardless withdrawal is reducing the touchpoints. This in turn is limiting the chances of getting infected.
