Global technology company NCR
Corporation (NYSE: NCR) has won a new automated teller machine (ATM)
order of more than 500 units from ATMU (China) Technology Co. Ltd
(“ATMU”), the largest ATM cooperation operator and service provider in
China. The order includes NCR
SelfServTM ATMs with cash dispense, deposit and cash
recycling functions, which will help ATMU’s bank customers, especially
small-to-medium sized banks, to deliver a better customer experience.
Since 2008, NCR has won volume ATM orders from ATMU totaling more than
9,200 units.
ATMU owns and operates its ATM network through a profit-sharing model
with cooperated banks. This cooperation model allows banks, especially
small-to-medium sized banks in China, to avoid making separate
investments in dedicated ATM fleets.
The purchase features NCR SelfServ 25 with cash dispensing function and
SelfServ 35 with cash deposit and recycling function. With compact
footprint and slim line interfaces, both models are through-the-wall and
vestibule outdoor ATMs, which are designed to deal with extreme weather
experienced in China. The SelfServ 35 can handle a high volume of cash
and has a large recycling capability to maximize financial service
providers’ return on investment.
ATMU’s key challenges are to protect its ATM investment by ensuring its
ATM network is highly available, secure and easy-to-use for consumers,
and that its business processes are streamlined and efficient. According
to ATMU, NCR SelfServ ATMs help drive deposit and revenue growth by
delivering broad range of transactions and ensuring higher availability
to consumers. This differentiated capability will drive loyalty among
customers and help ATMU grow its business.
The unique self-healing technology in NCR SelfServ ATM addresses the key
need of availability for ATMU. The NCR SelfServ ATM recovers
automatically and quickly from “soft” failures with no need for service
intervention, reducing average recovery time from two or three hours to
15 minutes. NCR SelfServ ATMs also feature advanced management
functions, delivering banks more data about ATM locations,
configurations and activity levels for each ATM. It enables ATMU to make
more accurate and timely management decisions.
“ATMU is an innovator in providing an alternative option to banks’ ATM
investments. We value our growing relationship with ATMU in broadening
NCR SelfServ ATMs to the 2nd to 3rd tiered market
in China, jointly making their bank customers and end consumers’
everyday lives easier,” said Gary Miao, president of Financial Services,
NCR Greater China. “NCR will continue to expand our sales channel in
China by working with different partners.”
