The payment industry is undergoing radical changes. New and disruptive technologies offer innovative new ways for consumers to hold and spend their money. When it comes to managing their money, consumers take it for granted that the technologies they use will be interconnected, synchronized and seamless. Whether they pay at the cash counter using their mobiles phones or access cash at an ATM, they expect a seamless, safe and hassle-free experience. In today’s hyper-connected payment model, technology plays a pivotal role and is functionally deviant from core banking operations. Resultantly, banks and financial organizations need to relay on specialized agencies who can take on this technical as well as operational challenge. These agencies ensure high availability and improved customer satisfaction in ATM operations and during other modes of payment. Electronic Payment And Services Pvt. Ltd (EPS) is a leading retail banking technology and payments services consultancy and outsourcing firm which manages and operates ATMs of some of the leading public sector banks in India. Incepted in 2011 and headquartered in Mumbai, the organization specializes in providing end-to-end Automated Teller Machine (ATM) Operations & Outsourcing Services.

Mitigating Risks in the BFSI Domain
EPS operates in the B2B sphere where its clients are not the end users but the banks. For them, adapting to the new technologies is time-consuming, sometimes spanning across years in development and implementation. Cyber security is another growing concern as well as a threat to the banks and its end users. Organizations cannot afford to manage such complexities on their own.
As a result, banks and financial institutions put their trust in EPS for its expertise in ATM management and operations. As part of its process, the company gathers all the requirements from its clients and works towards speedy implementation and faster time-to-market. The solution reaches and serves a maximum number of end users in the most efficient way.
