India is shutting down ATMs even as people use them more

印度正在关闭自动取款机，尽管人们用得更多了

NEW DELHI: Finding an ATM in India is getting tougher even as dependence on cash persists, thanks to tighter regulations that make it more costly to run the machines.

新德里: 尽管对现金的依赖依然存在，但在印度，要想找到一台自动取款机正变得越来越困难。这要归咎于更严格的监管，导致自动取款机的运营成本更高。

The number of automated teller machines in the country shrank in the past two years despite an increase in transactions, Reserve Bank of India (RBI) figures showed Saturday. India already has the fewest ATMs per 100,000 people among BRICS nations, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

印度储备银行(RBI)上周六公布的数据显示，尽管交易量有所增加，但印度的自动取款机数量在过去两年中却出现了下降。根据国际货币基金组织(IMF)的数据，在金砖国家中，印度已沦为每10万人拥有自动取款机最少的国家。

The drop may continue as banks and ATM operators struggle to absorb the cost of software and equipment upgrades mandated by the central bank last year to bolster security. That risks undermining Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s campaign of increasing financial inclusion in a nation where cash remains king less than three years after he pulled most banknotes from circulation.

由于银行和自动取款机运营商难以负担去年央行为加强安全而强制要求的软件和设备升级成本，这一降幅可能还会继续。这可能会削弱印度总理莫迪推动普惠金融的努力。在莫迪实施废钞令之后不到三年，现金仍然是王道。

“Declining numbers of ATMs will impact a large segment of the population, especially those who are socio-economically at the bottom of the pyramid,’’ said Rustom Irani, managing director at Hitachi Payment Services Pvt Ltd, a provider of the machines. “Penetration in the country is already very low.”

日立支付服务有限公司总经理鲁斯通•伊拉尼表示:“自动取款机数量的下降将影响很大一部分人口，尤其是那些社会经济地位处于金字塔底部的人。”

The declining number of ATMs is likely to further boost mobile banking, which is growing rapidly in a country with the world’s largest millennial and Generation Z populations. The number of mobile banking transactions grew 65 times in the past five years alone.

自动取款机数量的下降可能会进一步推动手机银行业务的发展。在印度这样一个千禧一代和Z一代人口居世界首位的国家，移动银行业务正在迅速增长。仅过去5年，手机银行交易数量就增长了65倍。

“People are shifting to mobile apps,” said Ashutosh Khajuria, chief financial officer at Federal Bank Ltd. “It’s too early to write an obituary on ATMs but it’s certainly declining. No one will invest in a declining proposition.”

联邦银行首席财务官Ashutosh Khajuria表示：“人们正在转向移动应用。现在就自动取款机写讣告还为时过早，但它肯定在走下坡路。没有人会对一个衰落的东西进行投资。”
