When the news of demonetization hit the country, it caused chaos. People flooded to banks, desperate to exchange their old currency notes or withdraw cash. But with long queues stretching for hours at traditional ATMs, and in some places no ATMs at all, many were left stranded without access to their own money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amidst this crisis, a hero emerged: the micro ATM machine. With over 70,000 cash withdrawals in some areas during those times, the micro ATM played a crucial role in easing the burden on banks and ensuring that cash continued to flow throughout the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
