Credit Agricole Centre Est Chooses NCR to Implement Cash Deposit Program

June 14, 2001 at 4:02 AM EDT

PARIS, June 14 /PRNewswire/ -- NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR) has reached an agreement with Credit Agricole Centre Est to provide 200 NCR Personas 73 automated teller machines (ATMs) for deployment at its branches in the Lyon area.

The regional bank, which is part of the Credit Agricole Group, sees the introduction of a cash deposit facility at its ATMs as an important element of its drive to improve customer services. The Personas 73 is NCR's first dedicated bunch-cash-accepting ATM, providing an around-the-clock automated cash deposit facility that -- with an optimal transaction time of under 60 seconds -- is fast, secure and simple to use. The solution it offers provides validation of currency, allowing the bank to offer credit for cash deposit or bill payment at the NCR Self-Service TouchPoint(TM) and providing the customer with immediate proof of deposit.

The introduction of the new machines will shift time-consuming transactions away from the counter. The bank is therefore able to reduce customer lines and free up staff to deal with customer queries and to concentrate on revenue generating opportunities. Ultimately, consumers are benefiting from a better service.

In addition to accepting deposits the Personas 73 can provide on-line balance inquiry, mini-statements and receipt printing.

Eliane Guillot, infrastructure general manager at Credit Agricole Centre Est, said, "We are very pleased by the Personas 73's capabilities and by its easy-to-use customer interface. We were also impressed by NCR's high levels of professionalism in providing the application and related services."

Patrick Goasguen, NCR France country manager, welcomed the announcement. He stressed, "Credit Agricole Centre Est understands the importance of the self-service channel as a strategic weapon that can provide competitive advantage while bringing added value to customers."
