The phase-out is scheduled to run over a period of about 3 years, with each machine's end date posted at its store. Until then, services continue as before.","whyItMatters":"A 5,400-machine withdrawal spread over about three years turns a contract termination into a slow unwind for customers who relied on Yucho ATMs inside convenience stores, with Seven Bank ATMs as the remaining option at a fee.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eJapan Post Bank tied the decision to the end of its ATM installation contract with FamilyMart, which it terminated. Each Yucho ATM\u0026#39;s end date will be posted as a notice at the store where it sits, so the shutdown does not arrive as a single nationwide cutoff.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter a machine stops, Japan Post Bank cash cards still work for deposits, withdrawals, and balance inquiries at the Seven Bank ATMs installed at FamilyMart stores, but fees apply.
