There are now more than 43,000 active machines, distributed between Own Network (19,582) and Banco24Horas’ Shared Network (24,186). All machines are equipped with biometric readers, providing additional security and convenience for cardless transactions.

Our fleet of machines also includes recycling machines, geared towards greater efficiency and cost reduction by eliminating the use of envelopes. Currently, there are 8,520 machines that operate with banknote recycling, which enables cash deposits with immediate credit in the beneficiary’s account. This feature also contributes to sustainability, since banking statements are sent via e-mail. Since 2022, envelope-free cash deposits have also been available in the 3,635 Banco24Horas recycling machines.

With our clients’ experiences in mind, we also have disruptive features, including the possibility of purchasing dollars and euros (a feature present in over 115 machines) – exchanging two currencies in a single machine – with representative participation in Exchange Transactions. In 2021, we also implemented the Virtual Vault, a solution that offers autonomy to clients when purchasing foreign currency through the Bradesco App and withdrawing from ATMs. This only reinforces our end-to-end look to promote the best experience for clients at all interaction points.

In addition, proxies now have much more autonomy in transactions of individual clients and can now access self-service machines. They can also perform transactions in a safer and more intuitive way through biometric registration and an exclusive 6-digit password. The project won the 2023 Smart Award (Prêmio Smart 2023).

There have been over 52 years of self-service and continual efforts towards evolving, so that we can keep our machines active wherever clients need them.
