ATM Availability

Number of ATMs per 100,000 inhabitants (World Bank Financial Access Survey 2023). Captures how easily cash can be accessed nationwide — critical in countries where card acceptance is limited. Exceptional density (>200/100k): South Korea 282, Liechtenstein 248, Chinese Taipei 175, Hong Kong 155, Japan 135, Austria 148, Portugal 148, Germany 148, Canada 112. Low density (<15/100k): South Sudan 2, Somalia 2, Afghanistan 2, North Korea 1, Eritrea 4, Niger 5, Chad 5. In many developing countries, a single ATM serves an entire district. Modern cashless societies like Sweden (38) intentionally have low ATM density because digital payments dominate — the score does not penalize this since the formula caps at 200, but raw value context matters. For nomads: high ATM density means accessible emergency cash, lower withdrawal fees from competitive networks, and backup when card terminals fail.
