Many Indian banks has started offering card-less withdrawal system from ATM. This has lead to another era of banking where someone can withdraw funds without holding a bank account. Even any card is not required. You need to just have a mobile number to receive money. The flow is pretty simple. We will see how it works for ICICI bank ATMs.
Before proceeding, let me clear you with the requirements:
- Receiver/Payee should have an active mobile number. Hope you have 🙂
- Payer should have a bank account with Internet banking facility and registered mobile number.
Send Money to Mobile Number
Login to ICICI Internet banking portal. From the top navigation bar go to Payments & Transfer => Manage Payees.
You will see a button to add Cardless Cash Withdrawal Payee. Add the details there and proceed. You should receive URN via SMS on your registered number to confirm the added payee.
Once you have confirmed the payee registration, head on to Fund Transfer page. You will see a box at the bottom for Any mobile number using cardless cash withdrawal.
Choose payee number in next screen and provide the transaction amount. Submit the form. Your account will be deducted with additional ₹ 25 as transaction fee.
After this, the payer will receive a 4-digit code via SMS. And, the payee will receive a 6-digit code on his number.
The fund is instantly available for withdrawal from any ICICI ATM. The person who is going to withdraw money should know both these codes (4-digit and 6-digit).Please note that some ATMs are not upgraded and hence do not support card-less withdrawal facility. In the home screen itself you should see this option linked with right top button. If its not showing, the machine doesn’t support it.

The recipient or any other person can withdraw money by entering these 4 details in ATM.
