Posted on Monday, September 23rd, 2024 | By IndusInd Bank
Ever found yourself in need of funds but realised you forgot your debit card at home? Do not worry; the cardless cash withdrawal system is here to help. This system allows you to withdraw cash from a UPI-ATM without the requirement for a physical debit card.
Instead, you can use mobile banking apps and QR codes to authenticate your identity and complete the transaction. This offers a secure and convenient way to access funds, especially during exigencies when you may not have your debit card.
Let’s understand how you can use this method and explore the benefits and limits of this contemporary banking feature.
How to Withdraw Cash from an ATM Without a Debit Card?
Most financial institutions including IndusInd Bank, offer a cardless cash withdrawal option. This option is available regardless of whether you have an Indus Delite Savings Account, a zero-balance account, or an Indus Multiplier Max Savings Account, a smart sweep feature account.
The only thing you need after opening a savings account is to activate UPI.
Here’s how you can withdraw cash from an ATM without a debit card:
1. Visit UPI ATM and Initiate the Process
Visit any UPI ATM. Initiate the process by choosing the desired amount displayed on the screen.
Note that this UPI ATM is versatile and accommodates distinct withdrawal amounts.
2. Scan QR Code
Once you have selected the withdrawal amount, a QR code will appear on the ATM screen. This code is essential for initiating the UPI transaction. Use any UPI-enabled app like the BHIM IndusPay app by IndusInd Bank on your smartphone to scan the QR code displayed on the ATM screen.
3. Authorise Transaction
To authorise the transaction, input your UPI PIN on your phone. The ATM will process the transaction and dispense the requested amount.
In case a withdrawal fails due to any technical glitch and the amount is deducted from your savings account, inform your bank immediately. The amount will be credited to your account within a few working days.
