A large 12% drop on 2024, but yesterday's torrential rain will have kept people indoors. We also have an extra day before #Christmas this year so more people will be waiting until next week for that final cash withdrawal. #accesstocash

Sometimes attacks on #ATMs can see as almost victimless but they cause real damage to communities and the local stores which provide a home for #cash_machines. As below, please contact Crimestoppers or the police if you have any information. www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

Unsurprisingly, sleet and snow doesn’t encourage people to go out and get #cash from an #ATM. A similar story to 2024 when we also had weather warnings and later in the week, Storm Bert.

The latest weekly #ATM volume and value figures from LINK. 22.8 million transactions is a lot but is still the lowest weekly total since January and the third lowest figure of 2025 as Friday's rain washed away ATM use. #accesstocash

#ATM #cash withdrawal values down 4.1% YTD. Speculation that consumers' cash use had stabilised at a new post-COVID level seems to be unfounded, although this is by no means a "collapse" and £63billion isnt to be sniffed at either. #accesstocash

Once again #ATM transactions close to recent years.’ However, this is more down to what happened back then, than what is happening now. 2023 had Storm Babet, 150–200mm of rain, while 2024 had heavy rain once again, with Yellow Warnings and 50–80mm of rain in just six hours. #accesstocash

A violent attack on an #ATM leaves another community without access to banking until the damage is repaired. If you know or saw anything please contact the Police on 101 or Crimestoppers where you can give information completely anonymously. #accesstocash
