We're thrilled to introduce the ATM cash withdrawal feature for our Ongo PPI users, adding a new dimension of convenience. This will simplify financial transactions by seamlessly integrating digital and cash transactions. We're confident that Ongo PPI's unique value proposition, along with the convenience to make easy payments across retail, fuel, and transit sectors and now ATM withdrawals, will strike a chord with modern-day corporate employees."
