HDFC Bank has announced the availability of mobile automated teller machines (ABMs) across India to assist customers during the lockdown, in light of increasing Covid-19 cases and restrictions imposed in various parts of the country. During last year’s lockdown, HDFC Bank successfully deployed mobile ATMs in more than 50 cities, enabling thousands of customers to get cash to meet their needs.

An automated teller machine (ATM) is a computerized machine that allows bank customers to access their accounts, withdraw money, and perform other financial transactions without having to visit a branch. Mobile ATMs are portable and can be placed anywhere.

Any ATM, debit card, credit card or prepaid card allowing cash withdrawals from an ATM can be used. These cards can also be used for a variety of other purchases.

The locations for the deployment of mobile ATM are being determined in collaboration with the local authorities of the city.
