<p>Customers will be able to take out up to £100 at in-branch cash machines just by tapping their Android smartphones or contactless debit cards, Barclays has announced.</p>
<p>Smartphone users will enter their PIN into their phones before the withdrawals, while card customers will enter the PIN after tapping in.</p>
<p>The feature is being piloted in Northern England before it is rolled out to 600 cash machines across 180 Barclays branches across the UK by the end of January 2017.</p>
<p>It follows in the steps of Bank of America, which launched contactless withdrawals using Android phones earlier this year.</p>
<p>Barclays said the new feature is actually more secure than traditional withdrawals, removing the risk of magnetic card skimming and distraction fraud – where customers are watched as they put in their PIN and then distracted as their card is swapped for a fake.</p>
<p>Barclays UK chief executive Ashok Vaswani said: <i>“We are always looking for new ways to make our customers’ lives easier and their finances even more secure.</p>
<p>“Our customers now expect to be able to use their smartphone to make their everyday purchases. We want taking out cash to be just as easy.”</i></p>
