In this article, I will guide you on how to withdraw cash from the automated teller machine without using any of your bank debit cards. Read on to learn how it works.
In a bid to rush to the bank and make some withdrawals before the queue gets too long, we often end up forgetting the most important thing we need for that transaction- our ATM cards.
Apart from that, due to our nature as humans, we often do not remember to include it among the things we will be taking along with us while travelling. Only when we need to get some cash from the ATM do we realise we don’t have the cards with us. Being very small and flat, it’s so easy for us to misplace them.
So what do you do when you need to make some cash withdrawals from the ATM but don’t have your bank cards with you? Do you just go back home and return the next day?

What You Need To Withdraw Money From The Automated Teller Machine Without Your Debit Card
Speaking of cardless withdrawals from the ATM, there few things you need to get it done. They are:
- Sufficient amount in your bank account.
- The phone number registered to your bank account or your bank mobile app
- A Paycode and 4 digit password.
Don’t get discouraged by the list of the requirements above. This is actually very simple to do. As a matter of fact, you don’t have to bother about how to get the Paycode. You will generate it using your either your bank app or phone number.
If you have the phone number registered to your bank account with you, you won’t be needing your bank’s mobile app for this. In the same way, if you have your bank’s mobile app with you, you won’t be needing the phone number registered to your bank account. Any of them can serve at any time.
Now that you have gotten the gist, let’s move on to the next stage.
This is the first thing you need to do before you can make cardless withdrawals on the ATM. The PAYCODE is what you will enter on the ATM authorizing it to pay you without your bank card. The code is usually 11 digits in number. It can be more sometimes.
Generating Cardless Withdrawal Paycode
This is the first thing you need to do before you can make cardless withdrawals on the ATM. The PAYCODE is what you will enter on the ATM authorizing it to pay you without your bank card. The code is usually 11 digits in number. It can be more sometimes.
You can generate this code in two ways, either with your bank’s mobile app or the phone number registered to your account.
To properly explain how this work so you can understand it, I’m going to single out a popular Nigerian bank and use it as an example here. I will show you how to generate the paycode using both the mobile app method and that of the phone number registered to your account.
So which bank are we going to use as an example here……U.B.A? Yeah you guessed right. If you are using a different Nigerian bank, just follow the same method here.
To generate the code now, simply dial *919*30*Amount#. If it doesn’t work or you for any reason, then follow the procedure below.
The First Method To Generate The PAYCODE
To generate the code now, simply dial *919*30*Amount#. If it doesn’t work or you for any reason, then follow the procedure below.
- Using the phone number registered to your UBA bank account, dial *919# (for other banks, dial your bank’s ussd code here)
- From the options shown on your screen, select “Next” by entering “8” to go to the next set of options.
- From the next options shown on your screen, choose “Cardless Withdrawal” by replying with “4”
- Select “ATM Cashout”
- Enter your ussd banking code
- Enter the amount you want to withdraw from the ATM
- Choose a 4-digit PIN to enter on the ATM during the cardless withdrawal
- After that, you will receive a text message from your bank saying “Dear Customer, Your PAYCODE is 123456789000. Enter it at any UBA ATM or any cardless-enabled ATM to get cash. Code expires in 24 hours”
The Second Method To Generate The PAYCODE
- Login into your UBA Mobile App same way you normally do.
- Click on the Options Icon by the top left.
- Select “Cardless Withdrawal” from the list of options shown there.
- Enter the amount you want to withdraw, your PIN and a 4-digit code to use as confirmation of the transaction on the ATM
- Copy the 11 digits paycode that will be shown next on your screen and go directly to any Automated Teller Machine to withdraw your money.

After generating the Paycode on the ATM, the next thing to do is to go directly to the ATM and withdraw the cash. Below is how to how to go about it.
Yes, you will be charged N100 for each successful withdrawal you make from the ATM using the code. I guess that’s the prize you’ve got to pay for forgetting your ATM card at home. (Haha!)

- Press the ENTER key on the ATM. The Green button there.
- From the options shown there, select “Cardless Withdrawal” or “Cash Withdrawal With Paycode”
