Everyone taking out cash from cashpoints have been warned of charges after a major operator announced changes.

Notemachine confirmed it would cut 1,000 free-to-use cash machines this year.

The operator also announced a 15% increase in the number of ATMs that would charge customers to withdraw their money.

Anyone using the machines will be charged 65p per cash withdrawal.

Notemachine’s chief executive, Steve Makaritis said the change was a result of a 10% drop in funding since 2018.

Hereford Times:

He told The Mirror: “Government legislation protects 'access to cash', but crucially fails to address the broken funding model that is forcing ATM operators to convert.

"Under current legislation, only a tiny fraction of ATMs are ‘protected’ - receiving the right level of funding to keep them operational on a free-to-use basis.

“Unless more funding is given, households will be left with a very small number of free-to-use ATMs."

The change comes as a number of banking groups, including NatWest, Lloyds, Halifax, Bank of Scotland and RBS, announced branch closures across the UK.
