“The Federal Bank ATM at Thevara in Kochi successfully dispensed Rs 2,000 denomination notes to customers,” the Bank said in a release here.
Five ATMs of the bank have been re-calibrated to dispense the larger denomination notes, it said, adding, the bank was among the earliest in the country to dispense Rs,2000 notes through its ATMs.
