This is the difference between EMV and Non EMV ATM
Non-EMV ATMs do not hold debit cards until the transaction occurs. After the card is read in these ATMs, it can be withdrawn even before the transaction. On the other hand, at the EMV ATM, the card locks for a moment. In these ATMs, users’ data is read through a magnetic strip.
