Interesting quotes on AI-ML from experts
Having GenAI skills, he said, is like having online search skills 20 years ago. “If you knew how to Google in 2003, 2004, you were very far ahead of everyone else because you had access to information. And I think we're at that point with AI right now — that you have to know how to use it.

“And unfortunately, the schools are failing because they see it as a cheating utensil, and it doesn't have to be. There can be so much more.”

Team: Free Tx reduced from 5 to 3 in 6 cities from November 1, 2014.
If you are doing 10 transactions in a month across different ATMs, then you will be paying a cool Rs 140 to your bank. Use ApnaKhata and avoid going to the ATM at all.
-CS

Frequent withdrawal of cash from ATMs or automated teller machines will become expensive from November, with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) imposing a limit of three free transactions per month from ATMs of other banks and five from the same bank in metropolitan cities.

A customer will be required to pay a fee of up to Rs. 20 for using ATMs beyond the permitted numbers of transactions in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, Kolkata and Hyderabad.

"The number of mandatory free ATM transactions for savings bank account customers at other banks' ATMs is reduced from the present 5 to 3 transactions per month (inclusive of both financial and non-financial transactions) for transactions done at the ATMs located in 6 metro centres," RBI said in a notification.

With regard to own bank ATMs, RBI said that banks will have to permit at least five free transactions per month (both financial and non-financial).

Diebold Deploys First ATM Without Card Reader Or Pin Pad
DFCU is piloting the world's first ATM without a card reader or PIN pad that relies solely on mobile authentication. When a consumer scans a unique QR code at the ATM using a smartphone, the ATM authenticates the user via cloud-hosted services to enable secure, cardless transactions. With no card or PIN required, the solution eliminates the threats of card skimming and shoulder surfing at the ATM. Diebold and white-label mobile wallet provider Paydiant developed the cross-channel solutions and hold complementary patents on the technologies.

Additionally, the integration of the ATM with the Mobile Cash Access (MCA) solution allows consumers to pre-stage cash withdrawals on their smartphones. At the ATM, consumers authenticate themselves, and the ATM dispenses the preselected amount of cash. The MCA offering also allows financial institutions to provide a secure, institution-branded mobile wallet solution without installing additional hardware on ATMs or point-of-sale (POS) terminals.

Considering Millennials' familiarity with mobile devices, Diebold's ATM interface features similar navigation and touch gestures, such as flick and drag. The ATM is also paperless, delivering receipts via the mobile wallet application.

"To develop the Millennial-inspired ATM, we studied the digital and social habits of today's younger generation," said Frank Natoli Jr., chief innovation officer, Diebold. "The research led us to choose mobile devices for both the user interface and the authentication vehicle to ensure seamless connectivity between devices. Adding mobile wallet capabilities further capitalizes on the mobile mentality of Millennials. Together, the technologies provide a glimpse of the future of self-service banking for today's connected consumers


ApnaKhata Point of View - "With such ATMs in place, ApnaKhata will soon have a new service called "Withdraw Cash". An OTP will by SMS and you can use the same at any ATM to withdraw cash. We are working with some banks to create Cash Merchants where money can be given by a roadside shopkeeper instead of an ATM - ApnaKhata - Banking Simplified"

Extract from Report of Technical Committee of RBI on Mobile Banking - Page 6, 21b. " In the case of SMS access channel, while it is available to all users (with all types of handsets) for conducting mobile banking transactions, the channel is not secure end-to-end and hence there are limits on the amounts that can be transferred using this channel without encryption. Further, the SMS also gets stored in the ‘sent items’ of handset, including the confidential M-PIN. The customer also needs to know the syntax for doing any transaction through SMS." ApnaKhata solves the last 2 problems. It does not store any credentials in sent items User need not know syntax of any command of any bank of any country. ApnaKhata for Android is available in English, Hindi, Marathi and Kannada - Banking Simplified.
