Some people in Germany are facing difficulties withdrawing cash from ATMs due to ongoing strikes in the money transport sector, a spokesperson for the Savings Banks Association of Germany revealed.
The strikes, which have affected banks across the country, are disrupting cash supply to ATMs, leaving many without access to funds.
The impact of the strikes varies from one banking institution to another, with different banks implementing alternative measures to handle the situation.
Around 100 workers in the money transport industry are striking for better wages and improved working conditions.
Their demands have caused a nationwide disruption, with more institutions likely to experience similar shortages if the strike continues.
The situation highlights the crucial role of money transport services in ensuring the availability of cash across the banking network in Germany.
With cash still being a widely used payment method in the country, the ongoing strike is expected to affect more people as it progresses.
Banks are currently exploring solutions to minimize the impact on customers, but for now, cash withdrawals may remain limited in certain areas.
