With over 8,000 ATMs all over China, CCB is already one of the major providers in the financial self-service market.
The introduction of these new machines will give CCB branches the capability to provide services such as bill payment, Web advertising and smart-card applications via the self-service channel.
In addition to providing more convenience to customers, the introduction of the new ATMs will further enable CCB to develop its card business. With increasing use of smart cards in China, CCB sees the ATM as an important channel for smart card replenishment.
"There are now 50,000 ATMs in China, and it is one of the fastest growing markets in Asia," said Albert Tsang, NCR Financial Solutions division vice president for the Greater China area. "The banks recognize that the self-service channel is an important means of reducing costs and generating additional revenues and that the machines are popular with the Chinese people. NCR has worked with CCB for over 12 years. We are delighted to continue this relationship and to assist them in further growing their business."
