BSNL partners Hitachi to facilitate bill payment via ATMs

State-run firm BSNL on Thursday announced partnership with Hitachi Payment Services for facilitating round-the-clock phone bill payment through ATMs.

"Some customers often miss to pay bill because of fix timing of BSNL counters. With these ATMs in place, customers will be able to pay their bill during any time of the day," BSNL CMD Anupam Shrivastava said while inaugurating the ATMs facility in Pune.

Under the partnership, Hitachi's ATMs will be installed in all major customer service centers of BSNL. BSNL will provide free space in its premises to Hitachi to install and maintain ATMs.

BSNL customers will be able to pay their bills through these ATMs.
