Equity Bank Cash Deposit Machines enable 24/7 secure, cardless cash deposits, ensuring convenience, instant transactions, and accessibility across Kenya’s major towns.
As Kenya’s economy continues to operate around the clock, businesses handling large cash volumes face significant challenges, especially those operating beyond regular banking hours. For wholesalers and large retailers, depositing daily earnings outside standard banking hours can be inconvenient, while keeping cash on-site raises security concerns. To address this, Equity Bank provides a seamless solution through Cash Deposit Machines (CDMs). These machines allow businesses to deposit cash efficiently, ensuring convenience, improving security, and minimizing risks associated with cash handling.
What are CDMs? CDMs are self-service ATMs for cash deposits, offering a convenient alternative to traditional banking, freeing up your time to focus on your business. Equity Bank’s CDMs enable safe deposits anytime, any day.
The CDMs facilitate seamless business operations by enabling cardless transactions. This feature mitigates disruptions caused by lost, blocked, or expired ATM cards. They are also accessible to all Equity Bank customers and deposits can be made by other people other than Equity account holders including buyers, shoppers, tenants etc.
