After the successful completion of a pilot run by IOCL (Indian Oil Corporation Ltd.), at 200 Fuel stations across India, using Oxigen’s Flagship product, The Oxigen MicroATM, Oxigen & IOCL, today signed & announced a strategic tie – up to expand and deploy new Micro ATM’s at IOCL’s Fuel Station Network, pan India.

In May 2017, Oxigen, India’s leading payment solutions provider, which is a national banking correspondent of RBL Bank, had appointed 200 IOCL retail outlets as Oxigen’s banking agents to pilot financial inclusion at IOCL’s retail outlets. These IOCL-Oxigen Micro ATM’s outlets have completed a transaction volume of over 30,000 with 60 million INR Gross Transaction Value. With this strategic tie-up with IOCL, Oxigen now targets to deploy Micro ATMs at 10,000 IOCL retail outlets across different states, yielding 8-10 million transactions and a Gross Transaction Value of 1 billion USD this coming year.

 

Oxigen & IOCL outlets will provide services of branchless banking through these PoS machines, where customers can avail banking services, digital payments and recharges IOCL’s loyalty card account, by paying using multiple modes including BHIM &Aadhaar Pay. The Oxigen Micro ATM is used both, as a point of sale terminal for customers to pay for fuel and other purchases, and also as an ATM for cash withdrawal by customers using Aadhaar. It will enable a IOCL dealer to get new customers coming in for banking / recharge / bill payment – which is Oxigen’s unique value proposition.

 

On the announcement of the tie - up, Mr. Pramod Saxena, Founder & CMD, Oxigen Services said, “We believe that there is an enormous business potential in digitising cash at Fuel Outlets in India. 80% of the payments made at these outlets are in cash. The deployment of Micro ATM’s will reduce the cost and risk of cash management for the dealer and at the same time customers and neighbourhood communities and highway travellers can avail this cash in circulation for branchless banking services. Oxigen’s pilot project of installing 200 Micro ATM’s at IOCL was a tremendous success and hence we plan to digitize the entire Fuel Station network through our state of the art payment solutions offered Oxigen.” 

 

Indian Oil’s commitment to less-cash economy: Indian Oil is consciously working towards increasing cashless transactions by encouraging customers to pay by debit/credit cards, loyalty programs and mobile wallets. The tie-up with Oxigen is yet another step towards implementing reliable digital payment system for our customers visiting our retail outlets across the country and to enable them to  get the intended benefits.”

 

“We are delighted to be partnering with Oxigen in this initiative that provides a technology-led solution, on the one hand to IOCL and its dealers, and on the other hand it provides neighbourhood branchless banking services to the common man without the large overhead of conventional ATMs. This will go a long way in promoting less-cash economy”, says Sujatha Mohan, Head, Digital & New Initiatives, RBL Bank.
