A queue management ultra-wideband (UWB) automated teller machine (ATM) transaction pre-staging systems and methods for use with an ATM server, at least one UWB-enabled wireless portable electronic device, and a plurality of UWB-enabled ATMs are disclosed. Transactions are pre-staged by the UWB-enabled devices with the ATM servers. Queue wait times at each UWB-enabled ATM can be determined based on how many transactions have been scheduled for the ATM, how many customers are currently waiting at the ATM, and what currency resources are required by the pre-staged transactions. Geographical distances between the user and the ATMs can be determined. Based on historical customer ATM usage preferences, the distance to various ATMs, and queue wait times, the ATM server may make recommendations regarding which ATM would be optimal for the customer to use to complete the pre-staged transaction.
