Overview

• Oberbank’s spokesperson said cash dispensing is being discontinued across its German network of 46 branches, noting many locations never had ATMs.
• In the 16 southern branches, the change has been rolling out since July 31 and is slated to be completed by the end of September, with sites such as Munich and Unterschleißheim already cashless and some opening hours curtailed.
• Branch notices state that counters and in-house ATMs are closed for cash services, while the bank points to retail cashback and nearby third‑party machines as alternatives.
• The spokesperson said customers would not incur extra costs for withdrawals, asserting fee‑free transactions are included despite the shift to external cash access.
• Consumer advocates and politicians warn of exclusion for older or less digital customers, as larger banks in Munich maintain ATM availability and more venues move to cashless payments, including Leger am Dom and over 160 Oktoberfest vendors.
