Operating under the brand name Hitachi Money Spot ATM, it has a strong presence in semi-urban and rural areas, enabling wider accessibility and empowering citizens with convenient banking services.
Hitachi Payment Services’ journey as a White label ATM Operator began in 2013 when it was awarded the WLA license. Since then, the company has remained steadfast in its commitment towards financial inclusion and has spearheaded multiple initiatives for its WLA network including deployment of Cash Recycling Machines (CRMs), supporting Interoperable Cash Deposits (ICD). Currently, it is the only WLA operator to offer cash deposit facility.
