Bank of Valletta ATMs across Malta and Gozo are now accepting contactless transactions. The Bank said that this means that cardholders can now just tap their card or their mobile device against the contactless symbol on the machine to carry out their transaction.

BOV explained that with this latest innovation, all ATM services are available via contactless for physical cards, with instant cash withdrawals currently available for mobile devices. All the other functionalities, including deposits, will soon be enabled for mobile devices.

The Bank added that it has 60 contactless ATMs that incorporate several benefits for customers, giving more access to cash and offering speed of service in a fast-paced world where more consumers are today comfortable with using contactless technology for payments and services.

Celebrating this achievement, BOV’s Chief Information Officer, Bjorn Ekstedt said that “This is another milestone for the local banking sector, and once again Bank of Valletta is positioning itself as a leader in digitalisation and innovation.”

BOV Chief Personal & Wealth Officer, Simon Azzopardi explained how the new developments across the Bank’s ATM network are enhancing the customer experience. “Contactless ATMs are providing our customers with greater ease of access. This means faster, safer, and more convenient services, spurred by the latest technology. While facilitating simpler cash withdrawals, we continue to encourage the use of alternative digital payment methods.”
