Why do you need a photo ID to withdraw money from a bank, but not from an ATM?

Putting this under Other because it’s not really Economics.

I guess this is a question about banking security. Most people don’t withdraw past the ATM limit anyway, so why do tellers insist on seeing a photo ID even though the customer could easily withdraw that same money from an ATM without that step?

Where approximately do you live? In Australia I’ve only ever had to swipe my card and put my pin in. Though photo ID worked when I’d lost my card.

Is it more a thing in other countries? Or maybe more local to OPs location?
