Airtel Payments Bank has enabled 100 villages across Tamil Nadu to go cashless to take its banking services deep into rural/unbanked areas and contribute to financial inclusion.

These villages now have access to basic banking services and the option of making digital payments, making them less reliant on cash, says a company press release.

Till date, over one lakh savings accounts have been opened with Airtel Payments Bank across Tamil Nadu. A network of over 16,000 neighbourhood Airtel stores across the State act as banking points and offer basic banking services to customers, the release said. Airtel Payments Bank is a fully digital and paperless bank with a network of over 250,000 neighbourhood Airtel retail stores that also function as banking points. This is more than the total number of ATMs in the country. The bank aims to scale its network to 600,000 banking points across the country.
