Sub-K seeks to bridge the digital divide, and create a ‘financially included’ society, through a robust and widespread retail distribution network and in-house Fintech solutions.

Challenge

Sub-K is one of the largest companies to disburse funds on behalf of banks. They undertake cash collections and cash rotations responsibility on behalf of banks.

The biggest challenge faced by Sub-K’s agents was cash deposit after banking hours. The problem was severe during the pandemic, when collection & deposit both were hampered.

The following problems were faced by Sub-K agents and customers:

  • Collection Point: – Customers were unable to locate the cash deposit points in their vicinity. 
  • Increased risk: Sub-K agents had to collect cash & wait for next working day to deposit the cash at bank. Carrying cash posed a great risk of theft and robbery. 
  • Customer service issues: Due to delay in cash deposits reconciliation was delayed. Customer’s account was not updated on time leading to many customer service issues. 

These problems impacted Sub-K’s recovery v/s capital funding.
