Bandhan Bank announced its tie up with the Odisha Government to help them strengthen payment solutions for Odisha Tourism Development Corporation (OTDC) Ltd. Bank offers Point of Sale machines for tourists to make card payments in prime locations like Puri, Bhubaneshwar, Konark, Chilka, and Gopalpur.
These PoS machines will hasten payment collections from tourists thus bringing convenience, both for the tourists and OTDC officials. The EDC machines will also help prevent revenue loss for OTDC, which may be caused by the lack of cash carried by the tourists. This initiative is also aligned to the nation’s vision of becoming a less cash economy.
Bandhan Bank has 150 Odisha-based branches, while the Bank currently serves the banking needs of more than 3 crore customers through more than 6,100 banking outlets across 34 states and union territories in the country. Shantanu Sengupta, Head of Retail Banking at Bandhan Bank, emphasized the bank’s commitment. He stated, “At Bandhan Bank, we are committed to be a bank for all and this endeavour is another step in that direction.”
