Overview

• Lidl has reduced the minimum purchase requirement for cash withdrawals at checkout from €5 to just €0.99, effective April 8, 2025.
• Customers can now use Visa and Mastercard credit or debit cards for withdrawals, in addition to the previously accepted Girocard.
• Withdrawals remain fee-free for amounts between €10 and €200, processed alongside the purchase transaction at the register.
• The move addresses growing demand for accessible cash services as ATMs and bank branches continue to close across Germany.
• Lidl's updated policy positions it competitively, though some rivals like Penny and Rewe already allow withdrawals with purchases as low as €0.01.
