The kiosk installed by Unocoin allows its customers to deposit and withdraw minimum amount of Rs 1,000 from the platform.

Karthik Reddy, Managing Partner of Blume Ventures (investor in Unocoin) said that the company has always balanced the Indian investor’s need to diversify their portfolio in the form of crypto-currencies and maintains transparency and self-regulation as required by all domestic regulators. This kiosk exclusively for its customers ensures that balance.” he said.

Shedding light on the operation of Crypto-currency ATM, the company said that the KYC compliant customers have to enter his User ID and the OTP that he just received as SMS on his registered mobile number.

To withdraw the deposit however the users have to make a request by visiting Unocoin website or through mobile platform where they can specify the desired amount for withdrawal.

The user would then visit the Unocoin Kiosk to enter the reference number and OTP that was sent to his registered mobile number to withdraw the INR to his hands.

In a major move earlier this year the RBI had forbidden banks and regulated entities against transaction with crypto-currency traders (individuals and companies), the virtual currency whose speculated value (according to Unocoin) during the publication of this report was (BTC) BUY: Rs 5,29,296 and SELL: Rs 4,35,346, similarly ETC stands at BUY Value: Rs 21,585 and SELL Value: Rs 15,487.
