SBI’s Floating ATM in Dal Lake: A Creative Solution for Banking Services

The State Bank of India has taken a remarkable initiative to provide ATM services to the people of Dal Lake, Srinagar, and tourists visiting the valley. This creative solution comes in the form of a floating ATM, a popular tourist attraction, and the only one in the union territory.

Background:

The valley saw a significant influx of tourists this summer, and most houseboats and hotels were fully booked. It made it challenging for tourists to access banking services quickly, prompting the State Bank of India to devise a solution.

The Floating ATM:

The floating ATM in Dal Lake is a remarkable sight to behold. This unique initiative taken by the State Bank of India has made banking services accessible and convenient for the people of the area and tourists alike. The ATM has been put up by the State Bank of India and has become another tourist attraction in the valley.

Convenience for Tourists:

Tourists staying on houseboats find it convenient to have a floating ATM nearby. They can access banking services without leaving the comfort of their accommodation, making their stay in the valley more enjoyable. The unique concept of a floating ATM has also made it a popular spot for tourists to take pictures.

Accessibility for Locals:

The floating ATM has made banking services more accessible for the locals as well. They no longer have to travel long distances to access banking services. The ATM is located at a central location, making it easier for the locals to access.

Response from the Public:

The response from the public has been overwhelmingly positive. The locals and tourists alike have appreciated this creative solution by the State Bank of India. The floating ATM has made banking services accessible to everyone, and the unique concept has made it a popular tourist attraction.

Future Plans:

The success of the floating ATM in Dal Lake has encouraged the State Bank of India to explore similar solutions in other areas. The bank plans to set up more floating ATMs in other parts of the country where access to banking services is limited.
