Postamat closure: the drastic decision – themagazinetech
Customers are enraged by the new directives: Postamats could cause problems throughout the summer, Poste Italiane explains the reason for the decision
No more withdrawals from Postamat after the closure of post offices. It is the measure that Poste Italiane has introduced due to too many nocturnal assaults.
A directive that will involve some areas of Italy and that is worrying customers because of the heat. The correlation between sampling and the heat lies in the fact that with this summer’s temperatures it is easier to travel in the evening for services than in the morning. The elderly group will find it difficult to withdraw cash.
The idea of Poste Italiane consists in cClose all cash withdrawal counters during the evening hours, specifically all hours outside office hours. Why this choice? The new directives were taken due to excessive thefts from Postamat. Many post offices have suffered several thefts: through new technologies, the criminals manage to crash the Postamat, and then carry out a silent break-in. But which areas will they cover?
Poste Italiane, the inconvenience of night withdrawals, some customers are already desperate
The speed of the operation, including the escape, made it much more difficult for the police to find the culprits. In particular the province of Pordenone suffered many nocturnal assaults. The inconvenience is caused both to the customer and to the office itself, because the customer can find himself circuited and then attacked, the Postamats are completely emptied, therefore there is talk of huge losses.
According to the directives of Poste Italiane, the restriction could also be added to the rest of the Region, but at the moment the developments are not clear. This is a drastic measure that will remain until a long-term solution can be found. At the moment also in the Veneto the same restrictions have been issued, the attacks by thieves could spread all over Italy, which is why even the police themselves are trying to understand the dynamics.

How does the dynamic develop, what did law enforcement officers think about the matter
The idea of closing the Postamat together with the counters, therefore outside office hours, stems precisely from the fact that the criminals are only able to complete the operation at night. Poste Italiane customers are starting to complain about the inconvenience but in the end it is also for their safety that this decision has been taken.
As far as Poste Italiane seems to explain, the decision was made only for older generation Postamats, for the new generation ones the problem would not arise. In this sense it is probable that after a large investment in the new tools it will be possible to return to normality.
