Contactless payments are a booming market in the United States, and for some customers using their debit or credit cards is an unnecessary step anymore.

For those customers who prefer to simply use their smartphone to pay for things and happen to be Chase banking customers, then you can finally keep your debit card stowed away when you want to access your bank’s ATM. Chase on Wednesday officially announced that it has successfully deployed “cardless access” to nearly all of its 16,000 ATMs across the United States.

That means you will be able to use Apple Pay –and other mobile payment options, like Google Pay– to access your bank account just by putting your supported device near the ATM’s designated spot on the hardware. You won’t need your physical bank card to access the ATM, but you will still need your PIN for verification purposes.

“Beginning today, customers no longer need a physical debit card or access code for authentication and can simply “tap” their smartphone on the ATM to easily and securely access money on the go. Cardless ATM access is available to all customers with a Chase debit or Liquid card that can be easily uploaded to their phone’s mobile wallet through the Chase Mobile® app.”

Chase has launched a step-by-step tutorial on how to use the new contactless option at their ATMs. Specifically for iPhone users, you’ll need to make sure that your Chase bank card is added to the Wallet app. Once you get to the ATM, you’ll need to open the Wallet app, select that Chase card, and then put the iPhone close to the “Cardless” symbol on the ATM. You will have to authenticate the process by way of Face ID or Touch ID, and then enter your PIN.

The new cardless support for Chase ATMs is available now. Bank of America launched a similar feature quite some time ago.

Our Take

This does make getting through the ATM process a bit faster. Though, for my bank, I simply need to double tap to launch an Apple Pay transaction and place the phone near the ATM’s designated spot to get it to work. I imagine if the Chase card is the default card that’s a similar situation for these Chase ATMs, too.
