Pitching for infrastructure status to the ATM industry to make it more viable, market leader NCR Corp on Sunday said ATMs are key for last mile delivery of the Government’s ambitious financial inclusion programme in the country.
lauding the Government’s Jan Dhan programme, NCR Corp's India head Navroze Dastur said in order to fulfil the ambition of financial inclusion and getting more people into the banking fraternity, one needs to provide relevant infrastructure and the last mile is an ATM.
“The objective of the Government is to give you a bank account and get you into the banking fraternity so that you start transacting and using the account. So, ATMs are something that will fulfil the last mile,” Dastur said. He further noted that funding is a big issue for ATM deployers.
