The KAL story

KAL was established in Edinburgh, Scotland by Software Engineer, Founder, and CEO Aravinda Korala in 1989. We quickly developed a specialized focus on multivendor software - leveraging XFS Service Providers (SPs) to bring an exciting vision of ATM interoperability and advanced functionality to life.  

Today, KAL’s market-leading Kalignite ATM software runs in over 100 countries, providing everything banks need to power world-class ATM networks. With unmatched technology and expertise, we drive interoperability, efficiency, security, innovation and customer satisfaction in the ATM channel. Our commitment to the ATM industry’s advancement is demonstrated through research projects like the annual ATM Software Trends report and our open-source framework for creating XFS4IoT services for ATMs (XFS4IoT SP-Dev).  

Our software is also available for point-of-sale (POS) deployers via KAL SmartPOS.  

We have global offices in Munich, Edinburgh, Mexico City, Sydney, Mumbai, and more. In September 2024, Kader Baadoud was announced as KAL’s Deputy CEO – marking an exciting new chapter in our company growth.
