Overview

  • Super ATMs now serve customers of Barclays, Halifax, Lloyds, NatWest, RBS, Ulster Bank, and newly added Bank of Scotland.
  • These machines enable multi-bank cash deposits, withdrawals, balance checks, and PIN changes, unlike standard ATMs tied to one bank.
  • The initiative supports small businesses reliant on cash by providing safe and efficient banking options as branches continue to close.
  • The pilot began last year with installations in Atherstone, Heathfield, and Swanage, and has expanded in May 2025 to include more banks and regions.
  • Cash Access UK and the Federation of Small Businesses emphasize the importance of super ATMs in maintaining access to basic banking services for underserved communities.
