How LINK #ATM transactions are changing over the years

Compared to the closest equivalent day, yesterday’s LINK Scheme Ltd #ATM values were up by 4%, volumes up by 1%. A very rare move into positive territory for volumes, in fact the first not related to a bank holiday since January. #accesstocash

Very unusual for #ATM withdrawal values to fall more than volumes (-12% vs -11%) but yesterday was the last day of the month in 2025. 2024’s figures were distorted by the 31st being Wednesday, see chart below. #accesstocash

Friday saw the largest year-on-year fall in volumes of July so far (-10%), reversing the recent trend for smaller reductions. This was down to the month end, in 2025 it was the last Friday of the month, payday for many, but this year they will have to wait until the end of this week.

#Cash_acceptance is a global issue. In Australia, major supermarkets and gas stations must now accept #cash for AU$500 or less, 7am - 9pm. In the UK, not an imposition as they all still accept cash. Some odd exclusions, eg pharmacies. #accesstocash www.choice.com.au/shopping/con...

Yesterday had a very unusual #ATM totals as vols were the same as Wed’s. This is v rare; they normally increase. The #World_Cup may to blame as fans took out more #cash beforehand but still had some left over, perhaps because there wasn’t as much celebration as they’d hoped for..... 😧 #accesstocash
