Bank of Ceylon opts for cash deposits machines
Providing the comfort of seamless transactions to customers, the Bank
of Ceylon provides ease of banking 24 x 7 all 365 days a year with its
newly established Cash Deposit Machines (CDM) with an island-wide
network that consists of over 100 machines. With this new feature
-filled machine, customers are now given the freedom to transact when
they want rather than having to rush into branches during banking hours,
squeeze in long queues and waste their precious time unnecessarily.
Customers can instantly deposit cash straight into their BOC account
that gets credited on real time without an additional charge. Unlike
many cash deposit machines which requires money to be fed into the
machine note by note or be inserted into an envelope, this machine
allows customers to place a total bundle of 200 notes in a mix of any
denomination in a single transaction. This machine also accepts "cardless"
deposits made by ATM cards or fund transfers made by simply keying debit
account and the credit account numbers as per instruction displayed on
CDMs graphic screen. Currently the maximum deposit value using an ATM
Card for a customer's own account is set to Rs.1 Million and cash
deposits to one's own account or third party is set to Rs.200,000/-.
Coming up with innovative ways and means to enrich the lives of the
bank's diverse customer base, the Bank looks forward to extend this
facility further within the branch network that is spread across the
country.
Operating these CDMs are made easy as all simple steps that need to
be followed are displayed on the machine's graphic screen guiding the
customer step by step till the end of the process. Customers will
receive a detailed mini-statement once the transaction is completed. If
customers prefer to make the transaction completely paperless this CDM
gives the customer the opportunity to activate an SMS alert to be
received to a given mobile number.
