Arrivals (Terminal 2) — Fastest “first cash” option
- After landing, follow the airport signs for Arrivals and Baggage Claim.
- Collect your luggage, then follow signs toward the public Arrivals hall (landside).
- Once you enter the public Arrivals hall, slow down and scan for signage like “Geldautomat / ATM” or the bank logo Sparkasse.
- Head to the Sparkasse Köln Bonn ATM in Terminal 2 Arrivals (public area) for a quick euro withdrawal.
- If the first machine is busy, wait a moment—airport ATMs often see surges right after flights arrive.
- After withdrawing cash, continue to the pick-up / taxi / rideshare area outside.
Arrivals (Terminal 1) — Best if you’re using Terminal 1 services (rail/shops) or connecting
- Follow signs to Arrivals and exit into the public landside zone.
- Look for directional signs to Departure C (you can use elevators/escalators if you’re on a lower arrivals level).
- In the landside departures/public area, follow any ATM / Geldautomat signs toward Terminal 1, Departure C.
- Use the Sparkasse Köln Bonn ATM at Terminal 1, Departure C (public area).
- If you specifically want ReiseBank (often used for travel cash services), head toward Departures B for the ReiseBank ATM.
Departures (Terminal 2) — If you’re departing and want cash before security
- Enter Terminal 2 and follow signs for Departures.
- Stay in the public/landside area (before security).
- Proceed to Departure D.
- Use the Sparkasse Köln Bonn ATM at Terminal 2, Departure D (public area).
- Withdraw before security if you want cash for ground transport, tips, or small purchases immediately after landing elsewhere.
Quick CGN Landmarks That Mean You’re Close
- Terminal 2 Arrivals (public): If you’ve exited baggage claim and are in the main public arrivals hall, you’re in the right zone—this is where the Terminal 2 ATM is listed.
- Terminal 1 Departure C (public): If you see signs for C (and landside shops/services), you’re close to the Terminal 1 Sparkasse ATM.
- Terminal 1 Departure B (public): If you’re near B landside services, you’re close to the ReiseBank ATM.
- Between terminals: Terminals 1 and 2 are connected landside—if one area is crowded, walking across can be faster than waiting.
Use the map below to find the nearest ATMs and banks near Cologne/Bonn Airport (CGN), especially if you can’t use the ATMs inside the airport or prefer to withdraw cash outside the airport.
ATM Withdrawal Tips & Advice for Cologne/Bonn Airport (CGN)
- Use Terminal 2 Arrivals for the quickest withdrawal after landing: If you arrive in Terminal 2, the Sparkasse ATM in the public arrivals area is usually the fastest “first cash” option before you head outside.
- If an ATM is busy, walk landside between terminals: CGN’s Terminals 1 and 2 are close and connected landside—if you see a long line, it can be quicker to walk to the other terminal’s ATM location than to wait.
- Prefer Sparkasse for straightforward EUR withdrawals: The airport’s listed Sparkasse cash dispensers are designed for euro withdrawals and are typically available 24/7 in the public landside areas.
- Use ReiseBank when you want “travel cash” support: If you need help beyond an ATM (e.g., travel cash questions), head to the ReiseBank area in Terminal 1 (Departures B). The ATM is a good backup even when the counter is closed.
- Expect possible “operator fees” and always read the on-screen prompt: At CGN, the final ATM screen typically shows any surcharge before you confirm—cancel if the fee looks high and try a different airport ATM (Terminal 1 vs Terminal 2) before leaving the building.
- Avoid Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) when offered: If the ATM asks whether to charge your card in your home currency, choose EUR to avoid an extra conversion markup; this matters most at travel-focused ATMs.
- Withdraw before heading to late-night ground transport: While airport ATMs are 24/7, taxis and some small late-night vendors may prefer cash—grab euros before you go to the taxi/rideshare pick-up lanes.
- If you’re taking the train, withdraw before you go down to the station: It’s usually easiest to use the terminal ATMs first, then head to the railway station level—this saves you from backtracking with luggage.
- If you’re renting a car, withdraw before you exit the terminal complex: Once you’ve driven out, coming back for cash is a hassle—use Terminal 1 C or Terminal 2 Arrivals/Departures D first.
FAQs – Cologne/Bonn Airport (CGN) ATMs
Are there ATMs inside Cologne/Bonn Airport (CGN)?
Yes. CGN lists 24-hour cash dispensers (ATMs) at key landside/public areas in Terminal 1 (Departure C) and Terminal 2 (Arrivals and Departure D). There is also a ReiseBank ATM listed in Terminal 1 (Departures B).
Are CGN airport ATMs open 24 hours?
The listed Sparkasse cash dispensers at CGN are shown as open 24 hours. ReiseBank’s ATM is generally available around the clock even when the bank counter operates only daytime hours.
Where’s the fastest ATM right after I land at CGN?
If you arrive into Terminal 2, go to the public Arrivals hall and use the Sparkasse ATM there. It’s positioned for arriving passengers before you step outside.
Do I need cash at CGN, or can I pay by card?
You can pay by card in many airport shops and services, but it’s still smart to withdraw a small amount of EUR at CGN for taxis, smaller purchases, and “just in case” situations (especially late at night).
What should I do if the first ATM declines my card or is out of service?
Don’t leave the terminal complex—walk landside to another listed CGN ATM location (Terminal 1 C, Terminal 2 Arrivals, or Terminal 2 Departure D). Switching providers (Sparkasse vs ReiseBank) can also help.
Will I be offered Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) at CGN airport ATMs?
It can happen. If an ATM offers to charge your card in your home currency, select EUR so your card network/bank handles the conversion (usually better than DCC rates).
Is there an ATM near CGN if I leave the airport without withdrawing cash?
Yes. Nearby districts like Köln-Porz / Wahnheide have multiple bank ATMs (including Sparkasse), and you can also find ATMs throughout Cologne and Bonn—use the embedded map to pick the closest option based on your route.
Which terminal should I use if I’m connecting between flights?
If you have time landside, choose whichever terminal you’re already in first (Terminal 1 C or Terminal 2 Arrivals/Departures D). If there’s a queue, walk to the other terminal—CGN’s terminals are close together and connected landside.
