Through The wall CDM
What is a Through The Wall CDM?
Core Definition
CDM stands for Cash Deposit Machine, allowing users to deposit cash, check balances, and perform basic transactions without visiting a bank counter.
"Through The Wall" denotes the machine's installation type: embedded in an external wall for outdoor accessibility (e.g., streets, building facades), distinguishing it from indoor "lobby-type" machines
Key Features
Enhanced Security: Reinforced design with anti-vandalism features (e.g., explosion-proof cash boxes, tamper-proof screens).
24/7 Accessibility: Available outside banking hours for deposits and transfers.
Multi-Currency Support: Accepts specific banknotes (e.g., RM 10/50/100 in Malaysia's Public Bank CDMs).
Extended Functions: Beyond deposits, supports transfers, bill payments, and balance inquiries
