Walnut app crowdsourcing user info to help find ATMs with cash

BANGALORE, INDIA: As accessing cash via ATMs has become a very cumbersome process these days with ATMs running out of cash more than often, personal finance management app, Walnut has launched a feature that will allow users to find a working #ATMwithCash.

Walnut will track the ATM usage of its 1.8+ mn users to help people across the country find a functional ATM with cash near them.

Amit Bhor, Co-Founder and CEO, Walnut said, “In light of the recent announcements to fight black money and the hardships faced by many Indians, we thought that we should do our bit to make finding active ATMs simple. Walnut app crowd sources information across millions of users and helps everyone find an #ATMwithCash in real-time and with queue information."

When Walnut users transact at an ATM, they can choose to share information and this helps everyone around them.

Every time a Walnut user visits an ATM, the app will will prompt the user for details on the queue status at the ATM. The feature allows users to help fellow Indians by sharing this information on WhatsApp and social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, etc.

The new feature will showcase:

ATMs with cash with a short queue are denoted by a green PIN

ATMs with cash with a long queue are denoted by a red PIN

ATMs with no cash/unknown activity status are denoted by a grey PIN

In addition, as many of us are using our debit and credit cards more it becomes difficult to track spends. Walnut helps by automatically tracking all your expenses.
