NCR Personas 73e offers improved customer service and drives down bank branch operating costs
NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR) today announced that it has significantly increased the currency-handling capacity of its popular bunch-cash-accepting automated teller machine (ATM), the NCR Personas 73.The solution provided by the new NCR Personas 73e validates currency and enables a bank to offer real-time credit for cash deposits or bill payments at a Self-Service TouchPoint(TM). Such transactions can be carried out at any time of day in an unattended environment.
The cash-deposit ATM has proved very popular with personal and small business users, creating a need for the machines to be serviced over weekends. In response to this high level of customer usage, NCR has significantly increased the machine's deposit-handling capacity. The NCR Personas 73e has a scaleable capacity of 8,000 bills and represents a fourfold increase in storage.
Demand for the NCR Personas 73 has been particularly strong in Asia, though NCR is offering this solution across the world. First introduced in September 1999, it forms an integral part of NCR's deposit automation offering, enabling banks to better utilize their Self-Service TouchPoints to reduce costs and increase revenue-generating opportunities.
As well as offering fast, secure bunch-cash deposit, the NCR Personas 73e enables multi currency deposit with sorting capabilities. It utilizes NCR's APTRA(TM) software solutions, which can open up new revenue streams through personalization and increased customer loyalty, advertising and other non-cash revenue opportunities.
Marcus Haley, vice president of ATM Solutions at NCR's Financial Solutions Division, welcomed the enhanced capacity unit. "The original Personas 73 has proved very popular with bank customers who know they can trust it to accept and accurately process their cash deposits. It is this popularity which has led to the need for greater capacity, and we are happy to respond to customer demand with the introduction of the Personas 73e," said Haley.
