Goodbye ’empty’ wallet: learn how to find the nearest ATM in seconds

Goodbye Multibancos: Country with more than half a million Portuguese prepares historical change

Traveling or traveling through unfamiliar areas can be an even greater challenge when the sudden need to raise money arises. Between unfamiliar streets, establishments that don’t accept cards and tight schedules, the simple task of finding an ATM can turn into a real race against time.

Fortunately, there are currently two applications that solve this problem in a few seconds, according to the website specializing mainly in Pplware technology: Revolut and MB WAY. Both allow you to locate ATMs on an intuitive map, ensuring that you never run out of cash, whether in Portugal or abroad.

In many locations, especially small villages or busy tourist areas, there is not always an ATM nearby. Despite the evolution of digital payments, there are still cafes, restaurants and small stores that prefer cash transactions, either out of habit or to avoid associated costs.

Practical applications for locating ATMs

With these two apps, finding an ATM is no longer a complete ‘game of luck’. Instead of wandering random streets or questioning strangers, just open your phone and check which machine is closest. The time savings and convenience become clear, especially for those who are traveling or in an unusual place.

Revolut: national and international coverage

Revolut, known for its digital financial services, includes a function dedicated to searching for ATMs. When accessing the “ATMs nearby” option, a map appears that highlights the nearest machines, sorted by distance.

The big advantage is that this functionality operates not only in the national territory, but also in several other countries, thanks to the platform’s international partnerships, indicates the same source.

MB WAY: the solution for Portugal

MB WAY is essentially aimed at users of Portuguese banks. After associating the card, the process is quite simple, according to the same source: open the “More” menu and select “Find an ATM”. The application shows all machines in the area, guaranteeing practically total coverage in the country.

By combining the two applications, you obtain the most complete coverage possible: MB WAY for national use and Revolut for international travel. Both are safe, easy to use and frequently updated, allowing you to withdraw money without any setbacks, as highlighted by .

Future of Multibanco

Even with the growth of digital payments, physical money continues to maintain its place. In countries like Sweden, for example, there are more and more establishments that no longer accept cash, while in Japan cash remains predominant, with ATMs spread out in large numbers.

These digital solutions show how technology can minimize unforeseen events and ensure that, regardless of the destination, raising money remains a simple and quick process for any user.

Unlike many countries, where ATMs only allow you to withdraw money, in Portugal Multibanco offers dozens of useful services, from paying water and electricity bills, charging your cell phone, buying travel or show tickets, to making donations to charitable institutions.
