Samba Bank ATM
Samba Bank Limited runs a small proprietary ATM network in Pakistan, but Samba debit cardholders can withdraw cash and check balances at any 1LINK or MNet member bank's ATM nationwide, plus MasterCard/Cirrus-enabled ATMs abroad. Withdrawals at Samba's own ATMs are free; other banks' ATMs cost Rs. 35 per withdrawal, per the official Schedule of Charges.
How Samba Bank ATM access actually works — through Samba's own machines and Pakistan's shared 1LINK network.
- 1LINK & MNet Access
- Up to 8,000 ATMs
- PayPak / MasterCard
A Samba Bank ATM card isn't limited to Samba-branded machines — useful given how few Samba branches exist in most cities. With only 77 branches nationwide, the bank leans heavily on Pakistan's shared 1LINK interbank switch, and its own debit-card documentation puts that network at roughly 8,000 ATMs countrywide.

Samba Bank issues two main debit-card types.

The Samba Debit MasterCard is the international option — accepted at all Samba, 1LINK, and MNet ATMs domestically, and per Samba Bank's own figures, at roughly 1.4 million MasterCard-enabled ATMs and 28 million merchants worldwide.
Confirmed from Samba Bank's official PayPak Debit Card and Debit MasterCard product pages, and 1LINK's own published network figures.

Two things "Samba ATM" search results sometimes mix in that aren't Samba Bank Pakistan: Samba is also a town in Jammu & Kashmir, India, so "ATMs in Samba" searches can surface unrelated Indian bank ATMs (HDFC and others) with no connection to this bank. Separately, Samba's former Saudi Arabia business and its UAE branch run their own, entirely different ATM networks under similar-looking domains. If you're a Samba Bank Limited (Pakistan) customer, only Samba-branded ATMs, 1LINK/MNet member ATMs, and MasterCard/Cirrus-logo ATMs abroad apply to your card.

- Understanding that Samba Bank ATM access extends far beyond its own branches
