Business, Eligibility, Benefits, Purpose
What is Kiosk Banking?
Banking and its associated services have become a part of one’s day-to-day life. Everything from checking balances or depositing cheques, the bank does it all. In the era of developing tools that make our lives a little easier, banks have also opted for tools such as ATMs.
ATMs’ provision has simplified processes like money transfer and withdrawal of cash, which is why it gained popularity amongst the average working individuals that could access money on the go. But, such kind of facility has been far out of the reach of the minority or poverty-ridden sections of the society. This section majorly comprises the
daily wage earners that are unable to reach out to the banks for availing the fundamental services.
To bridge this gap, the Reserve Bank of India introduced the much renowned Kiosk Banking system.
Kiosk Banking and its meaning
The word KIOSK stands for Kommunikasjon Integrert Offentlig Service Kontor, and it denotes a small open-fronted hut or a cubicle. In terms of banking, a Kiosk is a service introduced to cater to the banking needs of the low-income sections of the society by bringing the common banking services near their locality.
The kiosk allows the individuals to access the banking facilities such as cheque transfer, transactions, balance inquiry, cash deposit or remittances, etc. They can do all this without having to go to a banking branch. This benefits the LIGs (Low Income Groups) as they get all the services without having to visit the bank. As these individuals are incapable of maintaining a minimum amount in their bank accounts, Kiosk provides them with the ability to maintain their bank accounts without a fret.
Components of Kiosk Banking
Generally, the Kiosk is set-up as a booth in any local shops or retail points available in
the neighborhood of villages. This ensures an enhanced reach and greater accessibility
to customers.
There are two components of a Kiosk Banking system:
Customer Service Point (CSP), and
Kiosk Machine
Customer Service Point: It is a counter created in the shop along with the Kiosk booth that enables efficient connectivity to a corresponding private or public bank. The customers may contact CSP to raise concerns regarding any transactions or account procedures and get solutions.
Kiosk Machine: The second portion of the Kiosk booth is the Kiosk Machine that allows the user to perform transactions and other banking services such as cheque deposits, balance inquiries, etc. It consists of Barcode Scanner, Cash Acceptor, Integrated Full-Page Thermal Printer, Integrated Speaker, Keyboard with Trackball, Touch and Non-Touch Display, Video Camera.

The shop owners or retailers that incorporate Kiosk booths in their shops also achieve a sense of income boost by the commission earned via cash deposits and withdrawals made using Kiosk.
Kiosk vs ATM
Kiosk Banking systems were established after the development of ATM. As a result, there are some differences between Kiosk and ATM which can be explained through the services offered by Kiosks such as:
Kiosks offer account inquiries such as checkbook requests that are not offered by ATMs.
Kiosks also provide the customers with customer support tools that connect with the bank’s help desk directly.
Kiosks provide MIS reporting, which is not the case with ATMs
Another striking difference between Kiosk and ATM is that Kiosk allows a cheque deposit facility, unlike ATM.
Kiosks also offer an Internet banking facility for the user to carry out online transactions.
Kiosks also have a Customer Service Point or CSP to help assist the customers.
