A frictionless automated teller machine (ATM) computing system may include an ATM, an authentication server, and a mobile device running a mobile application. The devices of the frictionless ATM computing system facilitates simplified user interaction with the ATM. As a user approaches the ATM, the user may log into the mobile device, which triggers the mobile device to send a geographic location to the authentication server. The authentication server then notifies the mobile device of a close ATM. In response, the mobile device may display a user interface screen to initiate a transaction. The ATM may be woken by the authorization server or a user input to complete the transaction causing the ATM to dispense the requested amount of currency.
