During the weekend, many Swedes went to ATMs to withdraw cash.

The largest increase was 34 percent on Thursday when the war broke out, but even on Saturday and Sunday the increase was over 20 percent.

The company Bankomat reacted to the unusually large increase, which CEO Nina Wenning believes is largely due to the war in Ukraine.

- We generally believe that people are becoming more aware that it is good to be able to use several different payment methods.

At the same time, Nina Wenning believes that people are becoming more aware of the crisis recommendations from MSB, and therefore right now choose to think one step ahead, in case something should happen.

Different reasons

But it does not just have to be the dramatic development in Ukraine that is the reason why more people withdrew cash over the weekend.

- We see that it is an increased use, but we can not always see what it is due to.

If you look at the end of the month, it is the salary that causes cash withdrawals to increase, which it actually was this weekend.

The weather can also affect, says Nina Wenning.
