Five Santander cash machines have been shut down due to "potential criminal activity and vandalism", the bank says.
Lancashire Police earlier warned people not to use Santander machines across the county due to criminals targeting them to steal card details and cash.
It came after a series of incidents, and police said the bank was unable to deactivate the machines.
But Santander has said the "five ATMs in question were shut down immediately".
The bank said its network of cash machines "remains fully operational", and added that customers should always be "vigilant".
In a statement issued earlier, police said: "We are still taking reports but a series of similar incidents last week occurred in all parts of the county. The advice, therefore, is not limited to a specific area or town.
"It is not clear if machines beyond Lancashire have been targeted, so customers outside of Lancashire should contact Santander if they are concerned or see anything suspicious."
