The customer then simply confirms the information on screen and the machine prints a receipt acknowledging the transaction.

Through this machine, customers can also deposit multiple cheques at the same time, quickly and securely. The machines will be accessible to all customers 24-hours a day, 7-days a week, and 365-days a year at branches and at SBUs all over the island.

The launch of the Digital Cheque Deposit Machine is another milestone for People’s Bank in its continuous quest to enhance customer experience.
