Cardless ATM Market Trends

The emergence of biometric ATMs is one of the most important cardless ATM trends driving market growth. The user must initially position their finger on the sensor for biometric technologies such as fingerprint recognition. In numerous nations, however, hygiene concerns are growing due to the spread of infectious diseases such as Ebola, avian influenza, and swine flu. Companies operating in the Cardless ATM Market are shifting focus to contactless biometrics, such as retina and retinal scanning and 3D facial recognition, to combat the spread of communicable diseases. Major application areas for contactless biometrics include cardless ATMs in hospitals and airports where hygiene must be maintained. Consequently, a rise in biometrics in the Cardless ATM Market will create new growth opportunities for market-focused vendors.

Increased smartphone penetration is one of the primary factors fueling the growth of the cardless automated teller machine (ATM) market. There is an increase in smartphone penetration in developing nations due to the rising sales of low-cost smartphones. Low-cost smartphones include several features that are typically found on high-end smartphones. Moreover, in the peer-to-peer communication paradigm, NFC chips allow smartphones to exchange data with other NFC-enabled devices in cardless ATMs. In contrast, a smartphone can read QR codes displayed on an ATM's screen for QR code verification. Thus, such factors are driving the Cardless ATM market revenue.
