La Caixa, Spain’s
third-largest banking group and the country’s biggest savings bank,
has launched the world’s first ATMs to feature contactless
technology from Fujitsu.

According to La Caixa,
the ATMs will offer the fastest withdrawal system on the market.
The new generation of ATMs have already been rolled out in
Barcelona, Sitges and Palma; additional ATMs will be rolled out in
the Balearic Islands and Catalonia.

La Caixa has already
started to instal contactless POS terminals in shops and
restaurants in the Balearic Islands; this programme covers around
5,000 merchants.

In January, La Caixa
announced plans to change its name to CaixaBank, ahead of a stock
market listing.

La Caixa’s restructuring
 – it is targeting to complete its reorganisation by August –
is expected to create the 10th largest lender in the
eurozone by market cap.

CaixaBank will have a
branch network of 5,409 outlets, 8,181 ATMs, 10.5m customers and
over 28,000 employees.
