AI Summary of 31. Prescribed requirements for ATM operators

The Bank is mandated to regulate ATM operators through consultation with the Minister, establishing requirements for notifications related to changes in business operations that could affect cash service provisions. This includes planned ATM withdrawals or installations, ownership changes, and immediate reporting of unforeseen ATM closures. Operators must also meet service standards regarding availability, withdrawal limits, cash denominations, maintenance downtime, signage, transactional information, and public communications.

Notifications for planned ATM withdrawals or business cessations must be submitted at least two months in advance or as otherwise specified. Regulations can vary by class of ATM operators and ATMs, ensuring necessary measures for orderly operation, effective Board functions, and sufficient access to cash for individuals and SMEs are addressed. Compliance with the prescribed requirements is mandatory for ATM operators.
