The company said a technical issue with a third-party vendor was to blame for a disruption with deposits and payment processing that stretched into the weekend.
www.nytimes.comHere’s the latest I can share about Capital One ATMs.
- Capital One operates a large ATM network and often promotes surcharge-free access through partnerships like MoneyPass. If you’re a Capital One customer, you can typically withdraw from many ATMs without a fee, and Capital One also highlights 70,000+ fee-free ATMs in their own help pages as of 2026. This is consistent with their push to provide broad, no-fee access to cash for customers.[6][8]
- Recent major Capital One ATM or service outages have been reported in early 2025, affecting deposits and some ATM-related services due to vendor-related technical issues. Capital One apologized and worked with the vendor to restore services, with most issues resolved as they communicated progress. If you’re checking for outages right now, it’s likely best to visit Capital One’s status pages or social channels for the latest updates.[2][3]
- If you’re in Buffalo, NY, you’ll want to confirm nearby no-fee ATM availability via Capital One’s locator tool to ensure the closest Capital One ATMs or MoneyPass-affiliated machines are surcharge-free for your card, especially if you rely on direct deposits or cash withdrawals during business trips or weekends.[6]
Illustration: To quickly verify a nearby no-fee ATM, open the Capital One ATM locator and filter for “no surcharge.” You’ll see a map of Capital One branches and partner ATMs, with fee indicators for each location. This aligns with Capital One’s emphasis on widespread no-fee access.[6]
Key tips
- Use the official ATM locator to find no-fee ATMs near you in Buffalo or wherever you are; Capital One often coordinates with MoneyPass to expand accessible locations.[6]
- If you experience issues with ATMs (unusual withdrawal declines, deposits not posting, or card capture), check Capital One’s outage/status updates and then contact support; in 2025 outages they advised customers that funds were safe and that services would be restored promptly.[3][2]
- For deposits and withdrawals, be mindful of daily limits and the need to use a Capital One ATM or MoneyPass network ATM to avoid fees; Capital One’s help pages outline withdrawal/deposit guidelines and limits.[8]
