customer to only withdraw cash and receive a report of the
accounts balance.

facilitate credit card payments and account information.

USAGE IN INDIA
According to a 2006 survey by Banknet India, 95% people
now prefer this modern channel to traditional mode of
banking. Almost 60% people use an ATM at least once a
week. Increased ATM usage is also helped by the fact that
customers have now the flexibility of using ATMs of other
banks, as most of the banks are part of major interbank
networks like National Financial Switch (NFS), Mitr, BANCS,
Cash tree and Cashnet.
Number of ATMs installed in the country grew by almost 20%,
from 17,642 last year, to more than 21,000 by march 2006.
Wide acceptance of ATMs by consumers, introduction of
biometric ATMs, and various value-added ATM services will
maintain growth in the industry.
