How it's used
Refers specifically to the physical act of using an ATM to get cash. It is a very common colloquial term that replaces the more formal 提款. You will rarely hear people use the formal term in casual conversation unless they are speaking in a professional or banking context.
Examples
Do you know where I can withdraw cash nearby?

Common mistake
Do not use this to refer to withdrawing money from a bank teller inside a branch, as that is typically described as 攞錢 or 提款. 撳 implies the physical action of pressing buttons on the machine.
