The steady takeover by contactless payment services like Android Pay and Apple Pay scored a major victory today, with several major U.S. banks confirming they will be introducing contactless ATMs in 2016. These kinds of contactless ATMs have been around for a while – Spain has had them since 2011 and Australia introduced the first EMV chip ATM a year ago – but these will be the first in the U.
