Baden bei Wien, Österreich - In the Baden district, it is often a long way to a cash. The average distance to the nearest ATM is a proud 1.58 kilometers. Smaller communities such as Heiligenkreuz are particularly affected, where the citizens have been without access to their own ATM because of the closure of the local bank for several years. Gisela Fahrenberger, a resident, reports that many guests in the community often ask for an ATM and are accordingly upset if they don't find one. The next ATM is located in Alland, which is a certain challenge for the residents. Fahrenberger emphasizes that there have been discussions about the construction of a community center with ATMs for over 40 years, but without any progress.

Not only in Heiligenkreuz - also in Furth at Triesting there is no immediate need for an additional ATM. Mayor Natascha Partl explains that the next option is in Weissenbach. Citizens often commute to their jobs and do their errands in this neighboring town. Partl emphasizes that the frequency of a possible ATM in Furth would be rather low, which makes it difficult to choose the location - after all, the municipality comprises an area of 64 km².

According to a study by the Austrian National Bank, cash is still well available in Austria when you look at the entire country. The average distance to the nearest ATM is only 1.2 km, while the maximum travel time does not exceed an average of 3 minutes. In addition, 97 percent of the population have less than 5 kilometers to cover an ATM. These are positive news, especially if you look at the regional perspective in smaller communities, where in some cases the distances are larger and the accessibility leaves something to be desired.

community distance to the next ATM peculiarities
Heiligenkreuz No ATMs on site, next in Alland bank closed years ago
Furth on the Triesting Next ATM in Weissenbach hardly frequency for your own ATM

Overall, it can be seen that despite the challenges in some communities, access to cash is quite comfortable in an overall Austrian context. However, the special situation in small communities reminds us that there is still a lot of potential for improvement to meet the needs of all citizens.
