Zurich Airport (ZRH) ATMs Walkthrough & Map
Follow the step-by-step walkthrough below to find ATMs when arriving at Zurich Airport (ZRH). For terminal maps and official airport info, visit Zurich Airport (ZRH) map/homepage.
International Arrivals / Non-Schengen Arrivals (ZRH)
- After landing, follow the airport signs for Arrivals and, if required, Passport Control / Immigration.
- Proceed to Baggage Claim and collect your luggage.
- Continue through Customs into the public Arrivals area (commonly Arrival 1 or Arrival 2, depending on your flight/terminal flow).
- Once you step into the public hall, look for signs reading ATM, Bank, or Travelex. At ZRH, these are often positioned in the main public circulation areas near exits and meeting points.
- If you want a bank-branded ATM with strong foreign-card acceptance, head toward the main terminal Check-in 1 / Check-in 2 public areas where UBS banking points and ATMs are located.
- If you only need quick cash and see Travelex first (especially around Arrival 2), you can use the ATM there before walking farther into the terminal complex.
- If your first machine does not accept your card, stay inside the terminal complex and try another ATM in Airport Shopping / Airport Center—ZRH has several ATM points across connected zones.
- Withdraw the cash you need before heading outside to taxis, hotel shuttles, or rail/bus connections.
- If you already walked toward the station, you can still use ATMs in the Airport Shopping / SBB station access corridors without leaving the airport complex.
Schengen Arrivals (ZRH)
- After landing from a Schengen flight, follow signs for Arrivals and Baggage Claim.
- Collect your luggage and continue into the public arrivals hall (Arrival 1 or Arrival 2 flow, depending on your gate and baggage carousel assignment).
- Look for ATM, Bank, and Travelex signage in the public circulation area.
- If you’re heading into Zurich city by train, it is often easiest to use an ATM in the Airport Shopping / Airport Center zone on your way to the SBB train station.
- If you prefer Swiss bank ATMs, continue toward Check-in 1 or Check-in 2 public areas where UBS points are clearly signposted.
- If a queue forms in Arrivals, move a few minutes toward the shopping/transport links—there are usually more ATM options in the connected terminal center.
- Withdraw cash before going down to the train platforms or out to bus/taxi pickup areas.
Quick ZRH Landmarks That Mean You’re Close
- Arrival 1 / Arrival 2: If you’ve just exited baggage claim/customs into the public arrivals hall, you are in one of the easiest ATM zones at ZRH.
- Check-in 1 / Check-in 2: If you can see the main check-in counters, you’re in a major public-area banking zone (including UBS points).
- Airport Shopping / Airport Center: If you’re near the central shopping corridor or moving toward the SBB station, you’re in another reliable ATM-rich area.
- Airside Center: If you’re already past security and in the central passenger hub, look for ATM/travel money services near the main retail/passenger circulation area.
Use the map below to find the nearest ATMs and banks near Zurich Airport (ZRH), especially if you can’t use the ATMs inside the airport or prefer to withdraw cash outside the airport.
ATM Withdrawal Tips & Advice for Zurich Airport (ZRH)
- Use a Swiss bank ATM (UBS / ZKB) if you can. At ZRH, bank-branded ATMs in Check-in 1, Check-in 2, or Airport Shopping are often the best first choice for straightforward CHF withdrawals and clearer fee prompts.
- Choose CHF (Swiss francs) on the ATM screen. Some airport ATMs may offer dynamic currency conversion (DCC). At ZRH, select CHF instead of your home currency to avoid the ATM’s exchange-rate markup.
- If you’re going straight to the train, withdraw in the Airport Shopping / station corridor. ZRH’s SBB station is integrated into the airport complex, so you can get cash on the way without making a separate stop.
- Arrival 2 can be the fastest first stop after landing. ZRH lists Travelex in Arrival 2, which is convenient if you want cash immediately after customs before walking to check-in/public banking zones.
- Check-in 1 and Check-in 2 are reliable backup zones. If an arrivals ATM is busy or declines your card, head to the UBS locations in the check-in halls rather than leaving the airport complex.
- UBS counters have daytime hours, but ATMs are typically available around the clock. This matters at ZRH if you arrive very early or late and need cash outside bank-counter hours.
- For Dock E departures, withdraw before taking Skymetro if possible. While ATM access may exist in passenger areas, the easiest options are often in the Airside Center or landside check-in/public areas before you continue deeper into the airport.
- If you need euros instead of CHF, compare ATM withdrawal vs. exchange desk rates. ZRH has both ATMs and currency services (including Travelex), and the cheaper option can vary depending on your card/bank fees.
- Keep a small amount of CHF for immediate transport/snacks. Even though cards are widely accepted in Switzerland, having some cash can help for quick purchases or if your card requires a second attempt after long-haul travel.
- Save the receipt and note the zone name (e.g., Arrival 2, Check-in 2, Airport Shopping). ZRH uses clear zone labels, which makes support and dispute follow-up much easier if something goes wrong.
FAQs – Zurich Airport (ZRH) ATMs
Are there ATMs in both the public and passenger areas at Zurich Airport (ZRH)?
Yes. ZRH has ATMs in public/landside areas (such as Check-in 1, Check-in 2, Airport Shopping, and arrivals halls) and also in passenger/airside areas like the Airside Center and some gate zones.
Where is the easiest ATM to use right after landing at ZRH?
Usually the easiest place is the public arrivals area (Arrival 1 or Arrival 2) after baggage claim/customs. From there, you can also walk to Airport Shopping or Check-in 1/2 for more ATM choices.
Which bank ATMs are commonly available at Zurich Airport?
Zurich Airport publicly lists banking/ATM services including UBS (Check-in 1 and Check-in 2), Zürcher Kantonalbank (ZKB) ATM in Airport Shopping, PostFinance/Postomat (via the Post Office area), and Travelex locations.
Are ZRH airport ATMs open 24 hours?
Some are, especially bank-branded ATMs in the main public terminal zones. At ZRH, published bank-counter hours may be limited, but ATM access at those points is often available around the clock (subject to maintenance and area access).What fees should I expect when withdrawing cash at ZRH?
Fees depend on the ATM operator and your card issuer. At ZRH, you may see an ATM operator fee (or no local fee on some machines), plus your bank’s out-of-network/foreign withdrawal charges. The total cost depends mostly on your home bank/card terms.
Should I withdraw CHF or choose my home currency at the ATM?
If prompted, choose CHF (Swiss francs). Selecting your home currency usually means dynamic currency conversion (DCC), which often gives a worse exchange rate than your bank/card network.
Can I get cash before going to the train station at Zurich Airport?
Yes. The airport and Zürich Flughafen SBB station are directly connected. You can withdraw cash in the Airport Shopping / Airport Center public areas on the way to the train platforms.
What should I do if one ZRH ATM rejects my card?
Try another ATM operator or another zone in the same connected terminal complex (for example, move from Arrival 2 to Check-in 2 or Airport Shopping). ZRH has multiple ATM points, so a different machine often works without needing to leave the airport.
