Spain Reduces ATM Numbers to 2002 Levels as Country Moves to Digital Payments
Kei te heke haere te maha o nga ATM i Spain ki nga taumata i kitea e te whenua i te tau 2002. E ai ki nga purongo a nga kaipāho a-rohe kua mahia enei mahi ki te whakaheke i nga utu me te akiaki i te utu me te mahi whakarorohiko i roto i te waahanga. Ko te nuinga o nga ATM i rehitatia i te tau 2008 i te wa e 61,714 nga miihini kaha i roto i te whatunga.
Peeke i Spain Whakaitihia nga ATM
The number of ATMs in Spain has dropped to its lowest level since 2002, when the network had 1,795 more ATMs than it has today. According to a recent pūrongo from the Bank of Spain, the network had 48,081 ATMs at the end of the third quarter of 2021. This reduction has to do with attempts to lower costs in the banking sector amidst a push for digitalization in payments and banking processes.
Ko te nuinga o nga ATM i roto i te whatunga i rehitatia i te tau 2008 i te wa e 61,714 nga ATM kua rehitatia i te whenua. Mai i tera wa, kua neke haere nga peeke miihini mai i tenei whatunga. Heoi, kua piki ake te whakamahi o nga toenga ATM, e ai ki te purongo ano.

Te Push for Digitalization
The Spanish government has been reducing the amount of money that can be paid in cash per transaction. Last year, Spain’s antifraud law, which also regulated some issues regarding cryptocurrency assets, passed controls for cash payments depending on the type of transaction. The aforementioned law established that payments in cash could only be made up to the limit of €1,000. Sidestepping this law could result in sanctions of 25% of the payments made, which would be paid by each party to the transaction.
Heoi, e kii ana nga purongo a-rohe ka pa kino enei whanaketanga ki nga tangata whenua Paniora i nga taiwhenua, ko wai te hunga e whakawhirinaki nui ana ki te putea mo o raatau hiahia o ia ra.
The recent push has driven more and more residents of the country to digital payments. For example, the national survey for cash payments, carried out July 2021, kitea that only 35% of the surveyed citizens used cash for payments. This constitutes a significant change compared to how payments were made in 2014, where 80% of citizens used cash as a payments tool.
While cash usage has gone down, Spain still uses more cash for payments than countries like Sweden, where iti than 10% of the population uses physical paper and coins to pay.
