KABUL - Afghanistan International Bank has begun ATM services for holders of a variety of international credit cards.

The ATMs accept cards including MasterCard, Visa, American Express, JCB and affiliated cards.

AIB has placed one ATM at its head office in Wazir Akbar Khan, Kabul, and two in the US Airbase in Bagram serving some 15,000 army personnel.

The bank said another 22 ATMs are on order and will be installed in strategic places in Kabul and in AIB's branches.

The move is in line with AIB's strategy to become a modern 21st century commercial bank, reflecting international standards and practices.
