Cashnocash.com has launched a free service to help citizens find the nearest cash points. The crowdsourced site is supported by Quikr and Nasscom and has been conceptualised and developed by Quikrites Manjunath Talwar and Abhijit Khasnis, co-founders of Hiree.

The site helps users find the nearest ATM, bank or post office, availability of cash there and waiting time in queues for cash swap or withdrawal. It also offers users a chance to report this information back to the site and contribute to real-time updates at each mapped cash point. "The scale of the problem is humongous. The government and financial institutions are doing everything they can. This is our team's effort to help the cause by using technology and knowledge of the crowd," said Talwar and Khasnis.

Sharing views on the need for such an initiative, Quikr COO Atul Tewari said, "The sheer volume of transactions has led to long queues at banks and ATMs and Cashnocash helps citizens find the nearest cash point with the shortest waiting time. The site offers a simple technology-based solution that empowers people."Cashnocash.com has launched a free service to help citizens find the nearest cash points.
