Since mid-August, Gargantilla del Lozoya y Pinilla de Buitrago has an ATM in Plaza de Carlos Ruiz, offering free banking services.

Since mid-August, the municipality has had an ATM in Plaza de Carlos Ruiz. This new facility allows for cash withdrawals from any bank with a 0€ commission. Users can withdraw cash using credit, debit, or prepaid cards, as well as check balances and transactions, change language or PIN, and recharge mobile phones.
The installation is part of the PUEBLOS CON VIDA (Villages with Life) program by the Community of Madrid, an initiative aimed at revitalizing municipalities in the region with fewer than 20,000 inhabitants. This program seeks to benefit over 600,000 residents across 142 municipalities.
The program's four main objectives are: to retain the population and attract new residents, boost economic development, contribute to territorial rebalancing, and provide basic services to all rural municipalities.
