Withdraw Money Without Ecobank ATM Card via Mobile App

What is Ecobank Cardless Withdrawal (Xpress Cash)?

Ecobank Cardless Withdrawal, also known as Xpress Cash, is a convenient feature that allows you to withdraw money from any Ecobank ATM without using a physical debit card. Instead of inserting a card, you use a secure e-token code generated from your Ecobank Mobile App.

Here’s how it works:

  • Use your Ecobank Mobile App, USSD code or Internet Banking and generate an e-token by selecting the Xpress Cash option.
  • An 8-digit e-token code is sent to your phone via SMS.
  • You go to any Ecobank ATM, select the Xpress Cash option, and enter the e-token and withdrawal amount.
  • The ATM dispenses your cash instantly.

This method is completely secure. Each e-token is unique, can only be used once, and expires after a short time. So, even if someone gets access to the code, they won’t be able to use it later.

Note:
This post primarily focuses on using the Ecobank mobile app to perform cardless withdrawals.
