Estonian fuel retailer Olerex has begun allowing customers to make cash withdrawals at all of its 82 stations across Estonia.

With many banks closing down ATMs in small towns, Olerex identified a need for more places to make cash withdrawals. The use of cash is still widespread outside of the major cities.

Olerex is 100% owned by Estonian owners and it employs some 800 people.
