By verifying an email address and phone number, customers will now be able to sign up and create a wallet via the firm's website.
This initial registration enables the user to transact with bitcoin only, however. To use fiat currency (and hence an ATM), full online verification must be carried out via a social media login and upload of an ID scan.
Previously, users had to endure a rather time-consuming process, which included attending an ATM to scan palm and ID, pose for a photograph and verify a phone number.
The firm says registering online gives users the ability to load bitcoin into their wallets before visiting a machine, thus letting them "instantly" withdraw cash.
The news follows rumours last month suggesting that Robocoin may be looking to expand the means by which it allows consumers to buy and sell bitcoin – possibly in a shift away from the technical difficulties of managing a hardware-based ATM network.

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.
