By swapan |

State bank of India inaugurates its 183rd ATM of the North East Circle at Dispur under Dispur Branch. This is also the 35th ATM in Guwahati, which is dedicated to the service of ATM customers.

The present average hit rate in ATM’s in the entire North East is over three hundred per day and in major cities long queues are observed which encourages SBI to open more ATM centers. After getting positive response, SBI aims to install another three hundred ATM’s including railway stations within March 2008.
