LONDON, Sep 5, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- NCR Corporation (NYSE:NCR) today announced a new $14 million hardware and software deal with China Construction Bank (CCB), following a $14.4 million deal with the bank in July 2002. As part of the new agreement, CCB will deploy NCR's Personas 74, Personas 75, Personas 84 and Personas 86 automated teller machines (ATMs) across China.

CCB is among the most forward-thinking local banks in China, responding quickly to the new environment of rapid banking development and imminent competition from foreign banks. The introduction of new services at the ATM will further enhance the bank's competitive position.

With the ability to provide a wide range of services, including cash dispensing, check cashing, bill payment, account inquiries, passbook/document printing and e-commerce, the newly deployed Personas ATMs can meet the demand of CCB's rapid development plan.

ATMs to be deployed at a number of CCB's branches are equipped with NCR's APTRA(TM) open architecture software suite, which is based on the Microsoft(R) Windows(R) NT platform.

"Just at the start of the most important banking solutions show in China - the Beijing Banking Exhibition - we are happy to announce our further wins in the market. We have now concluded deals to a value of over $28 million with CCB this year. This latest announcement again confirms our leadership position and our determination to provide more self-service financial solutions to the fast-growing China market," said Albert Tsang, NCR Financial Solutions division vice president for the Greater China area.
