Vijayawada/Guntur, June 22, 2016: IDFC Bank today opened branches in Vijaywada and Guntur in Andhra Pradesh and completed the installation of 250 micro ATMs in Krishna district. This is part of an endeavour to enhance easy access to banking services across rural Andhra Pradesh.

The move aligns with recent initiatives undertaken by IDFC Bank in partnership with the Andhra Pradesh government to enable Direct Benefit Transfer through its interoperable AEPS (Aadhaar Enabled Payment System) Micro ATMs.

The branches in Vijaywada and Guntur will serve as a nodal centre for customers as well as Banking Correspondents. The Vijaywada branch was inaugurated by Shri Babu. A, District Collector of Krishna in the presence of Dr. Rajiv Lall, Founder MD & CEO, IDFC Bank and Ravi Shankar, Head – Bharat Banking, IDFC Bank.

IDFC Bank initiated Direct Benefit Transfers to beneficiaries in Krishna last month, starting with social security pensions. It proposes to extend the facility to other government entitlements as well. As part of the tie-up with the state, the bank recently piloted Aadhaar enabled cashless payments for PDS outlets in Krishna. The initiative is also expected to provide a fillip to

entrepreneurship in Krishna district with SHG groups adopting the bank’s Micro ATM mode. IDFC Bank’s micro ATM network is set to touch the lives of 46 lakh citizens in Krishna district alone.

The establishment of high density interoperable micro network in Krishna is testimony to use of technology for inclusive banking. It underlines IDFC Bank’s objective of being a private bank with a public purpose.

IDFC Bank’s interoperable Micro ATM functions like a ‘Bank-in-a-Box’, enabling digital transactions, withdrawals and DBT for customers of close to 3000 banks. It also provides instant account opening and activation, working on multiple identifiers including Aadhaar-based authentication, mobile numbers, debit cards and bank account numbers.
