From today, people with the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and NatWest mobile banking app can take money from an ATM by making a request on their mobile phone.
They
will receive a six digit pin number after making the request, which can
be entered at a cash machine for the money to be released.
The scheme aims to help people who may have lost or forgotten their card or those who might want to leave their wallet at home.
The
service, named GetCash, works at NatWest and RBS ATMs, with a limit of
£100 per use. The pin codes issued are valid for three hours and people
can use the scheme as many times a day as they need to, as long as they
do not go over their withdrawal limit.
It
is available to around two and-a-half million customers who already
have the banking app on their phone and those behind the initiative said
it is a first for the UK.
