For example, in Mumbai, the bank is working closely with Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on the daily route that the mobile ATM will take to ensure availability of cash.

Timings?

The mobile ATMs will be open in each location for a specific period. During this period, the Mobile ATM will cover 3-5 stops in a day between 10 am and 5 pm.

All necessary precautions in terms of maintaining social distancing while queuing for the ATM and sanitization are being taken to ensure safety of staff and customers at these Mobile ATMs.

"During this difficult time, we want to do our part to help everyone #Stay Home and #Stay Safe. Our Mobile ATM facilities will help our customers and the general public get access to easy cash withdrawal and other facilities as we stand together to curb the spread of COVID19," said S Sampathkumar, Group Head – Liability Products, Third Party Products and Non-Resident Business at HDFC Bank.

Recently, HDFC Group had committed Rs 150 crore to the PM CARES Fund to support the fight against coronavirus pandemic.

The HDFC Group's support to the PM CARES Fund is to commend the exemplary efforts of the Central, State governments, armed & paramilitary forces, local police, healthcare professionals and sanitation workers across the country, who are working tirelessly to fight the pandemic."
