Yes — according to the support information available on the Rothbard aggregator website, you can withdraw cash in parts at machines within the same network using the same code, provided cash is available. The code is valid indefinitely. Before your next withdrawal, check that the transaction is ready for withdrawal and check the location where you want to collect the remaining amount.

Does the code work at every Bitcoin ATM?

This feature applies to devices on the same network in Switzerland. Do not assume that the code will be accepted by a Bitcoin ATM from another brand just because the device also supports Bitcoin.

This refers to collecting cash after selling cryptocurrency. The withdrawal code identifies this transaction; it is not the address where you receive BTC when making a purchase. Use the code specified in your transaction instructions.

How can I plan to collect the remaining cash at a Bitcoin ATM?

  • Check to see if the transaction is ready for withdrawal.
  • Select another device on the same network from the map provided by the aggregator, such as Rothbard.
  • Check cash availability, the withdrawal currency and the hours when you can access the machine.
  • Use the saved code as instructed by the device.

Check the transaction status before collecting your cash.

After the first partial withdrawal, keep the receipt and note the amount you received. If you do not know how much remains to be collected, ask support to check the transaction. Do not guess the amount based solely on what the code looks like.

How long is the code valid?

The Support and FAQ sections on the Rothbard website state that the withdrawal code is valid indefinitely. However, this does not mean that cash is always available at every machine. The code’s validity, transaction readiness, and the availability of banknotes are three different things.

Keep the code somewhere others cannot access it. Do not post a photo of it in a comment, in a group or on social media. Its indefinite validity does not remove the need to check the conditions before your next visit.

A Single Withdrawal Code — What Should You Check Before Picking Up Your Cash?

According to the support information and FAQs cited in the article, the same code allows you to withdraw cash in parts at machines on the same network in Switzerland. Before your next visit, check the conditions below.

What should you check? What does this mean? What should you do before your visit?
Code Validity According to the information cited in the article, the withdrawal code is valid indefinitely. Keep the code to claim the remaining amount. Store it in a place where others cannot access it.
Transaction Readiness The validity of the code and the transaction's readiness for withdrawal are two separate issues. Check the status of your transaction. If you don't know how much remains to be collected, ask support to check.
The Right Network of Devices Partial withdrawals are available at Bitcoin ATM machines within the same network. Another brand may not accept your code. Select a location within the same network on the map and check the hours when you can access the machine.
Cash Availability The fact that the code is valid indefinitely does not guarantee the availability of banknotes at the selected Bitcoin ATM. Check the cash available at the machine and the withdrawal currency. If the machine has insufficient banknotes, choose another machine from the same network or contact support.

What should you do if an ATM Bitcoin is out of cash?

Check another location within the same network or contact support if you do not know where to collect the remaining amount. Do not assume that a lack of banknotes means the code has expired.

If the machine dispensed a different amount than expected or displays an error, report it to support. Have the transaction number, location, date and the amount of cash actually received ready. Keep your receipts until the issue is resolved.

What should I do now?

Would you like to withdraw the remaining amount? Check the status, then select a machine with cash available.
