“Aadhaar” a word that has now become customary to us Indians, Aadhaar card the id that we hassled for by standing under the sun in some government office, wiping the sweat from our brow cursing our Indian system. The same aadhaar which seemed needless and facile is now a part of 99% of our Indian population. Aadhaar Id is now a crucial identification criterion for bank KYC or for any other financial or non – financial organisation. With almost all of the population having their own identification number based on their biological uniqueness if the person has linked his/her aadhaar with the bank the person can withdraw or deposit cash just by using his/her fingerprint. Our marketing campaign heavily revolved around the same idea and so to make the campaign relatable we had to tag the campaign as “Ab anghootha chalega”.
Today, we have 3000+ retailers who actively use our Aadhaar ATM service and are earning lucrative commissions on providing basic banking facilities to their customers. AePS is at the forefront of developing financial growth and creating a range of monetary opportunities for our merchants.
