Problem
Access to cash can be limited in areas with few ATMs, especially for individuals who prefer in-person transactions or lack access to traditional banking services. Existing ATM networks may not be conveniently located or accessible during all hours, creating challenges for immediate cash needs.
Solution
PocketATM enables users to withdraw cash from local "kirana" (grocery) stores by using QR code technology. The platform leverages the existing cash reserves of local retailers, turning them into convenient cash access points. Customers can initiate a withdrawal through the PocketATM platform, receive a QR code, and then scan it at a participating store to receive their cash. This approach provides a convenient and accessible alternative to traditional ATMs, particularly in areas where ATM access is limited.
