Axis Bank has tied-up with 120 merchants to offer everywhere teller machine facility. Axis Bank has launched its everywhere teller machine (ETM) service in India at Vijaywada, Andhra Pradesh. Debit card holders in Vijaywada, using this service, can now withdraw up to Rs1,000 in cash per day from a point-of-sale (PoS) terminal at select merchant outlets. Axis Bank has over 180,000 PoS terminals deployed across India. In the first phase of roll-out, Axis Bank has tied-up with 120 merchants to offer this facility and plans to tie-up with 500 merchants across Andhra Pradesh by the end of March 2011. The bank plans to roll out this service in Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, and Gujarat in this fiscal and expects to cover all states by the end of next fiscal year. As of now the facility of cash withdrawal using plastic cards is available only at automatic teller machine (ATMs) and certain EDC terminals installed at financial institutions exclusively for cash withdrawal. ETM's will ease the process of withdrawing cash for the customers when an ATM facility is not available nearby. The ETM service will initially be available at Axis Bank EDC machines installed at select merchant outlets. All customers holding a debit card issued in India, as per Reserve Bank of India guidelines can avail this service for which they would be charged up to Rs10 per transaction.
