The Palestine Monetary Authority issued Circular No. 183/2021 to enforce compliance with existing ATM service instructions and mandate specific operational standards for bank ATM networks. The directive requires all operating banks to integrate cash and check deposit functionalities into domestic ATMs, ensure the dispensing of small Shekel denominations (minimum 50 NIS) across all machines, and expand service coverage to underserved residential areas. These measures aim to strengthen electronic payment adoption and maintain high-quality banking service delivery for customers.
