There are ATMs in Europe that will take the card, ask for what you want to do, ask the amount if it’s a withdrawal, and then ask for the PIN and dispense it. This reduces the time between typing and dispensing. No idea if it’s a significant enough reduction in the time versus card, pin, navigate to withdraw, dispense such that it would enable this attack.

What do ATMs elsewhere do? This is the only way I know.
The ATMs I regularly use authenticate THEN ask for what you want to do.
