BROOKINGS, S.D. - The ATM Industry Association and the World Bank's CGAP division are inviting ATM deployers to submit applications for funding various technologies that can assist in helping low-income groups. CGAP offers strategic and technical advice, funding and in-depth research to support selected pilots. Successful applicants will get assistance to develop a business plan. The deadline for applications is June 25.
According to a news release, after an initial round of applications, CGAP's Technology Program, which is supported by the Gates Foundation, is developing nine innovative projects that will test how technologies like mobile phones and satellite communications can expand financial access to some of the world's poorest people. A second round of applications is now underway.
