MONTREAL—Some small-town mayors in Quebec are warning that a decision by the Desjardins credit union to shut down automated teller machines in several communities will have a devastating impact.

Denis Legare, the mayor of Notre-Dame-de-la Salette, says there will be no cash available in the western Quebec municipality when the town’s ATM is removed in mid-August.
