Yes, NFC (Near Field Communication) can be used for ATM transactions. This technology allows for contactless payments by simply tapping your NFC-enabled smartphone or card near the ATM's NFC reader. Ensure your device supports NFC and that your bank's mobile app is set up for NFC payments. Note, however, that not all ATMs are equipped with NFC technology, so it's best to look for the NFC symbol or check with your bank beforehand.
