NATL•NCR Atleos research estimates that convenience-store and supermarket ATMs are linked to nearly GBP 499.5 million in monthly in-store spending. The analysis applied survey findings to GBP 1.35 billion dispensed across 5,300 UK ATMs in June 2026.
1. ATM spending estimates
The study analyzed more than 300,000 survey responses across 4,646 UK ATMs. It found that 37% of users said they spent withdrawn cash in-store and 31% said withdrawals prompted higher spending; applying those rates to June 2026 withdrawals produced the spending estimate. The research also found that 56% visited stores more often because of an ATM, while 76% reported a higher likelihood of returning.
