Banking representatives call for flexibility in the Access to Cash Bill

ATM withdrawals have fallen by 32% since the pandemic, according to the Central Bank.

Banking representatives have called for flexibility in the new General Scheme of the Access to Cash Bill.

The Banking and Payments Federation of Ireland, or BPFI, said the criteria used to measure demand levels for banks must be updated regularly as the use of cash declines.
