Can Wells Fargo ATM DONATE button be replicated at our ATMs

The trigger for this post is this below LinkedIn Post : 

          Ease of convenience will zoom up Micro Donations. The more easier and safer the donation process is, the more micro donations can go up.

          New donation channels can be explored within the existing technologies to encourage microdonations.

          One such channel can be the DONATE button at ATMs.

          This is not a new technology; this is popular at Wells Fargo ATMs.

          Wells Fargo has its own inhouse ATM software. This enables Wells Fargo to offer customised solutions for its account holders at its ATMS.

          The ‘donate’, option is offered only to its own account holders. This means ON US ATM transactions.

          The ‘donate’, option is not offered to other bank account holders. If other bank account holders wish to use the ‘donate’ option at Wells Fargo ATM, they have to open an account with Wells Fargo.

 

          Majority of the ATMs in country are linked via National Financial Switch @ https://www.npci.org.in/what-we-do/nfs/product-overview

Benefits 07) This can be replicated at Micro ATMs too, with lesser limits.
