    Cash Withdrawal Limit Halved at Hundreds of Austrian ATMs

    Several hundred ATMs in Austria have lowered their withdrawal limit from 400 to 200 euros. This change affects around 5% of the country's approximately 8,900 ATMs. Those needing more than 200 euros will have to withdraw money twice, potentially incurring double fees at private operators' machines. The National Bank (OeNB) explained that while the 400 euro limit is a standard, no one is bound by it. The reduction comes as Austria secures its cash supply with public assistance, aiming to install up to 120 new ATMs by 2026.
