We have focused deploying our ATMs and building our brand in the SURU regions.

To that end, we plan to scale up the sale of display advertisements on our machines pertaining to both financial and non-financial products and services, and we are planning to introduce co-branded debit cards with partner banks, offer payment services over our ATMs and offer lead generation platforms (for products like loans, insurance and other products).

Micro ATM services
To maintain or improve our competitive position, we need to continually identify and introduce new or improved products and services and tailor solutions that respond to expanding customer needs in a timely and effective manner. In that regard, we are looking to expand our offering through the roll out of micro-ATMs and by developing a digital platform to provide financial services to our customers.Micro-ATMs are portable devices that allow banking transactions including cash withdrawals, and fund transfers using debit cards. Micro ATMs also provide for Aadhaar enabled payments through the NPCI’s AePS system. Micro-ATMs are particularly well suited for rural and remote areas where connectivity and infrastructure are not conducive to deploying a full ATM. Using our cash management skills and other operational experience as an ATM operator as key differentiators, we plan to deploy micro-ATMs in rural areas. We believe micro-ATMs offer a significant opportunity to leverage and expand our india1ATM footprint and drive growth in transaction volumes. Our Company is currently piloting the use of micro-ATMs with 1,161 active units deployed in 6 states as of August 15, 2021
