Can i pull out cash with apple pay

Paying with Apple Pay works in the same way as using the contactless functionality on your physical card.

For eligible ANZ Access card customers:

When you add your eligible ANZ Access card to Apple Pay with both a linked chequing account and a savings account, the card will be defaulted to ‘eftpos CHQ’ for payments with Apple Pay.

To change your default option on a compatible iPhone, open the Wallet app, tap on your ANZ Access card, then choose the new account.

To change your default option on a compatible Apple Watch, double-click the side button and select your ANZ Access card, tap and hold then select the new account.

Note: ANZ Access card with Apple Pay is currently not available for payments within apps, on the web with Safari or for use overseas.

For eligible ANZ Visa debit card customers:

When you add your compatible Visa debit card to Apple Pay, the card will be defaulted to the Visa network for payments with Apple Pay.

To change the payment network on a compatible iPhone, open the Wallet app, tap on your ANZ Visa debit card, then choose the network.

To change the payment network on a compatible Apple Watch, double-click the side button and select your ANZ Visa debit card, then firmly press the display and choose the network.

Note: If you have linked a second account to your ANZ Visa debit card, you will need to delete and re-add your card to your digital wallet. This will allow you to select which account you would like the funds to be debited from.

To update your ANZ Visa debit card on a compatible iPhone:

Step 1: Remove your ANZ Visa debit card from Apple Pay on your iPhone. Open Wallet, tap your ANZ Visa debit card, tap, then tap Remove Card.

Step 2: Add your ANZ Visa debit card back to Apple Pay on your Apple Watch. Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, tap “Wallet & Apple Pay” tap “Add Card” and follow the prompts.

You will be required to enter your card PIN at some contactless terminals when getting cash out.

Apple Pay¹ offers convenient on the go payments — but can you use Apple Pay at an ATM to make a cash withdrawal?

Read on for all you need to know about Apple Pay ATM withdrawal including what ATM takes Apple Pay here in the US, and how international withdrawals can work with Apple.

Can you withdraw money with Apple Pay in ATM machines?

Apple Pay is Apple’s contactless payment feature, which lets you add bank cards to your phone or other eligible device, to make mobile payments in person, online and in apps.

You may also be able to use Apple Pay at an ATM machine to make a cash withdrawal², if the ATM supports contactless — and therefore cardless — withdrawals.

To find an ATM that takes Apple Pay you’ll need to look out for the contactless symbol which will be displayed prominently on the ATM machine. If you see this you can usually make a withdrawal with a contactless card, or using a digital wallet like Apple Pay.

Which (US) banks let you use Apple Pay to withdraw money?

Some of the leading US banks have wide networks of cardless ATMs — including:

• Chase³
• Bank of America⁴
• Wells Fargo⁵

Other banks like Citibank and US Bank also have cardless ATMs, but this functionality might not yet cover their entire ATM network. Look for the contactless symbol on the ATM to see if a card-free withdrawal with Apple Pay is possible.

How can you withdraw money with Apple Pay?

So once you’ve found a cardless ATM which will let you make an Apple Pay withdrawal, what next?

While the exact steps you take may vary based on the ATM operator, the broad process is the same — and you’ll be guided throughout by on screen prompts if you get stuck. Here’s what to do:

Step 1. Double-click the home button to open Apple Pay — or if your phone is already unlocked, just tap Wallet and select the debit card you want to withdraw from

Step 2. Look for the contactless symbol on the ATM, and hold your phone nearby, keeping your finger on the home button

Step 3. Follow the prompts to enter your PIN on the ATM keypad

Step 4. Enter the amount you want to withdraw, following the on screen instructions

Step 5. Your money will be paid out

Not sure if contactless withdrawals with Apple Pay are right for you? Here are some pros and cons to consider:

• No need to take your card out with you

• Quick and easy to use

• More secure than carrying lots of cash

• You need an eligible phone or other device

• Not available from all ATMs

• Any fees added by your card or the ATM operator will still apply

Can you use Apple Pay in ATMs abroad?

You can use Apple Pay in any country which offers contactless payment technology. When it comes to using Apple Pay to make ATM withdrawals internationally, the key is finding contactless ATMs in your destination country.

Cardless ATMs are available internationally, but it’s still relatively new technology and hasn’t been rolled out everywhere yet.

European financial infrastructure company Six Group⁶, for example, states that in 2019 the number of global contactless ATMs went up by 26%, with further increases brought on subsequently due to the global pandemic.

To take one example, in Switzerland, in 2020 around 20% of all ATMs had contactless withdrawal options — a percentage which is likely to have risen since.

Assuming you can find cardless ATMs when you travel, you should be able to use Apple Pay to make cash withdrawals overseas as easily as you do at home.

How much will you be charged for using Apple Pay in a foreign ATM?

If you make a withdrawal internationally with Apple Pay, any fees your own card issuer, or the ATM operator applies will still need to be paid.

ATM operators may charge a range of fees — but these usually show up on the ATM screen when you’re processing the transaction so you can decide if they’re reasonable or not. The other charge which is common, and a bit more painful, is the foreign transaction fee often charged by credit and debit card issuers.

This is typically about 3%, but you’ll need to review your card terms and conditions to see exactly how it works for your specific card.

Finally, don’t forget extra fees may apply if you use Apple Pay with a credit card for a cash withdrawal. In this case, a cash advance fee is usually payable, which can push up costs significantly.

Where can you find ATMs that take Apple Pay?

To identify if an ATM will take Apple Pay — in the US or internationally — you’ll need to look out for the contactless symbol on the ATM itself. If this is visible, it probably means you’re good with Apple Pay to make a card free withdrawal. Simply follow the prompts on the ATM to get started.
