Hundreds of new ATMs capable of dispensing as little as $1 are popping up across the country.
Chase and PNC have both been launching ATMs that churn out exact change to the dollar, allowing customers to withdraw denominations as low as $1 and $5.
Chase(JPM) has rolled out between 350 and 400 such ATMs over the past 18 months, and thecount is expected to double by the end of the year. Customers can type in the withdrawal amount, opt for "custom denominations" and select how many bills they want in denominations ranging from $1 to $100.
The new machines, located within branches or drive-thrus, even have the capability of dispensing coins, a service that will be piloted soon and eventually rolled out nationwide.
The move is part of Chase's push to create what are essentially virtual tellers that don't require additional staffing and increase efficiency for customers, said Bill Sheley, head of branch innovation. He calls the machines "next generation ATMs or new teller platforms." Other services the ATMs provide include paying credit card bills and loading Chase prepaid cards with cash.
Meanwhile, PNC(PNC) has upgraded more than half of its 7,200 ATMs to dispense $1 and $5 bills over the past year, and the rest are expected to be upgraded by the end of the summer. A PNC spokesman said the bank is adding this feature to make its ATMs more convenient for its customers.
The option to get exact change will be a plus for customers -- including those with low account balances who want to take out less than $20 or who need $25 but don't want to take out $40, for example, said Greg McBride, senior financial analyst at Bankrate.com.
"Particularly in difficult financial times when peoples' account balances have been lower, not having to withdraw more money than you really need is helpful," said McBride.
The new ATMs are free for customers. But the same $3 out-of-network fees apply to non-customers as they do for any of the banks' ATMs. A customer's own bank also typically charges a fee of around $1.60 when they use an out-of-network ATM.
In many cases, these out-of-network fees overshadow the convenience of getting exact change. But for some non-customers, it may be worth it, McBride said.
For someone who needs $45 but would overdrawtheir bank account if they took out $60, for example, it might make sense to pay a $4 fee to get the precise $45 from a PNC or Chase ATM.
Since it costs banks to add denominations to their ATMs, this new capability will need to prove worth it-- either in fee revenue or customer retention -- before other banks follow suit, said McBride.
Wells Fargo(WFC) and Citi(C) said they don't have any ATMs that dispense $1 and $5 bills at this time. TD Bank(TD) has a small number of ATMs inside businesses that dispense $5 bills, but most of its machines dispense only $20 bills and it doesn't have plans to introduce lower denominations. A Bank of America(BAC) spokeswoman declined to comment on future plans but said its ATMs currently dispense $10 bills and that the bank "always looks at ways to make banking at our ATMs more convenient."

denominations
When dealing with money, denomination is the value of the individual currency. For example a one dollar bill, a 100 dollar bill, a penny and a quarter are all different denominations of money. A one dollar bill and a one dollar coin are the same denomination as they are the same value.

The current $5 bill features U.S. president Abraham Lincoln and the Great Seal of the United States on the front and the Lincoln Memorial on the back. All $5 bills issued today are Federal Reserve Notes. As of December 2018, the average life of a $5 bill in circulation is 4.7 years before it is replaced due to wear.

Withdraw only as much as you need with Denomination Choice, a feature that lets you withdraw bills as low as $1 and $5. Choose the exact dollar amount you need and leave the rest of your money in your account.
Acceptable and new banknotes are returned into circulation via the automated teller machines (ATMs) of the banks and other customer-operated devices. Now you understand why ATMs never issue soiled, worn, torn, holed, hand-drafted or taped banknotes.
Most Wells Fargo ATMs carry both $20- and $50-dollar bills, and allow a mix when available. Deposit cash and checks. Insert checks or cash without an envelope.
Even if you only have a dollar to your name, Chase and PNC want you to be able to take it. The banks are in the process of deploying a new generation of ATMs that, among other features, will let you take out bills as low as $1 and $5.

As per the updated regulations from the RBI (Reserve Bank of India), with effect from 1st January 2022, users of most banks can withdraw cash from ATM five times per month. These five transactions are inclusive of both financial and non-financial (balance inquiry, mini statements etc.) services at any ATM.
During a cash deposit, like during a withdrawal, the ATM connects to the financial institution's network. It receives the cash, scanning each bill for an accurate count of the deposit amount. Once it has counted the bills, the ATM creates a transaction record of the deposit.
They can account a deposit amount incorrectly, dispense too little or too much cash, fail to give a receipt and keep a customer's banking card. The most spectacular errors occur when ATMs dispense cash to anyone who walks by, including those without money in their accounts or even without accounts.
These include the Bank of Ireland ATMs at Post Office locations, Barclays, Nationwide Building Society, The Co-operative Bank, HSBC, Lloyds Banking Group, Royal Bank of Scotland (including ATMs operated on behalf of Tesco Bank), Sainsbury's Bank, Santander and Yorkshire Bank.
If there is more than one denomination to choose from at the time of your withdrawal, you will have the opportunity to select it in all of the same bill type (for example, in all $10s), choose a custom selection, or allow the ATM to pick for you.
Only DBS, OCBC, and UOB offer both Fit and new notes, while CIMB, SCB and Maybank offer only New notes. The exception to this is for those aged 60 and above or those with disabilities, as they will get to exchange Fit and New Notes at DBS, OCBC, UOB, CIMB, SCB, Maybank and other banks.
In the earlier days of ATMs, when customers were excited for the new technology, they knew the machines would probably only dispense larger bills. Since $20 bills are not too large, but are able to be broken down into change fairly easily, it was easier to fill the ATMs with those bills.
Withdraw cash: Many ATMs have evolved from dispensing limited bills (for instance, $20 bills only) to now offering a variety of denominations. For example, a machine that may dispense $5s and $100s in addition to $20s.
Here's a list of potential transactions you could carry out at an in-network ATM: Withdraw cash: Many ATMs have evolved from dispensing limited bills (for instance, $20 bills only) to now offering a variety of denominations. For example, a machine that may dispense $5s and $100s in addition to $20s.
For example, if your bank's ATM limits you to 50 bills at a time, you'll only be able to deposit somewhere between $50 (if depositing $1 bills) and $5,000 (if depositing $100 bills). Or you could be allowed to insert bills until reaching a maximum dollar amount, such as $10,000 per day.
Banks set limits for how much cash you can take out at an ATM, which can range from small amounts such as $300 per transaction to $5,000 per day. Cash withdrawal limits are designed to protect you in the event that someone steals your debit card or your PIN.
