National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) in partnership with Hitachi Payments on September 5th announced the launch of India’s first-ever UPI ATM to offer secure card-less cash withdrawals. Below we have tried to cover all you need to know about this exciting news from what is UPI ATM, How UPI ATM Cash withdrawal works, and lastly, UPI ATM location availability.
What is UPI ATM?
UPI ATM is a new card-less cash withdrawal service brought by Hitachi Payments in collaboration with NPCI. A UPI ATM machine allows cash withdrawal upon successful validation of a UPI PIN as compared to a card PIN in a normal ATM. Customers can withdraw cash from as little amount as Rs.100.
UPI ATM Hitachi Unveiled at Global Fintech Fest in Mumbai (pictures)
Following are some of the pictures of the UPI ATM Hitachi machine that unveiled at the recent 4th edition of Global Fintech Fest in Mumbai held on 5th September.
As you can see from the pictures above, the UPI ATM machine doesn’t have a card insertion as we have seen in normal ATMs. Additionally, “The Hitachi Money Spot UPI ATM is built on Android OS and brings in significant possibilities of transitioning from legacy architecture,” said Hitachi Payments in their recent press release.
How does UPI ATM work?
It is obvious that a UPI ATM works differently as compared to a normal ATM. Unlike in a normal ATM, you do not need your debit card to withdraw money from a UPI ATM.
The ATM is connected to the UPI payments infrastructure and when a customer initiates a UPI transaction on the ATM, it sends a request to the NPCI/bank server to debit the customer's account and credit the merchant similar to how a UPI Payment works.
The customer authenticates the transaction using their UPI PIN. This is verified by the bank server.
Once authenticated, the ATM dispenses cash to the customer.
The Hitachi Money Spot UPI ATM is built on Android OS, unlike proprietary software. This allows UPI ATM to leverage Android features & connectivity. For example, yesterday on September 6th, Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor, Shri Shaktikanta Das announced the launch of some new UPI services such as Hello! UPI and BillPay Connect. Both of these are conversational payments that would allow users to make voice-enabled payments in their native language.
In the future, we may even get to see such capabilities in UPI ATM machines as well.
UPI ATM Launch Date
UPI ATM Hitachi & NPCI partnered machine launched in Mumbai on 5th September in the Global Fintech Fest. The UPI ATM machine is said to be soon available in other locations too. Speaking about its launch, Sumil Vikamsey, MD & CEO – Cash Business, Hitachi Payment Services said,
“As India’s leading end-to-end payments and commerce solutions provider, we are happy to launch an industry-first offering in the White Label ATM space with Hitachi Money Spot UPI ATM.
The official commercial launch date of the Hitachi UPI ATM is not confirmed. However, the card-less ATM machine by Hitachi has major banks live on it such as SBI, HSBC, Canara Bank, BOB, Central Bank of India, and others. Customers of these banks can use any UPI app from Paytm, BHIM UPI, GooglePay, PhonePe, and others to complete transactions. So expect the UPI ATM by Hitachi and NPCI to launch in more cities and areas soon.

Hey, yes @syed786 it is indeed simple! Hope NPCI and Hitachi make it even more extra secure as well, as much as using a debit card & PIN is..

Yes indeed a good initiative by NPCI and definitely it does help avoid the fraud of card skimming too..but given it is all digital, the security aspect of it has to be extremely robust I feel.
