Cash access through ATMs has been limited to network-registered cards using magnetic stripes and personal identification numbers (PINs); this all changes with mobile cash access. Now it is possible to use a smart phone app (i.e., mobile wallet) to activate and access traditional and advanced functionality at ATMs. Mobile cash access is a disruptive technology because authentication credentials can be controlled by the issuer of the smart phone app/mobile wallet without participation by the card associations. That creates the potential to dramatically disrupt the existing value chain and provide new branding and product development opportunities and a foundation for mobile payments at the physical point of sale.
