History

The company was established in 1989 by Dr. Aravinda Korala; hence Korala Associates Limited. KAL is headquartered in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Products

KAL’s major product is self-service software for ATMs and kiosks. In 2012, KAL introduced the innovative RTM (Retail Teller Machine). The RTM dispenses vouchers instead of cash meaning banks can operate in previously inaccessible areas while still offering the complete feature set of an ATM.
