NCR’s advanced hardware and software solutions help improve bank’s
speed of delivery and customer service
DULUTH, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 12, 2011--
Peoples Bank of Alabama is the first community bank in the state of
Alabama to deploy NCR SelfServ ATMs with scalable deposit module (SDM),
which makes the deposit portion of an ATM transaction twice as fast. The
bank will improve its transaction processing by running advanced NCR
software, including NCR APTRA Passport across its ATM network.
A new customer to NCR, Peoples Bank of Alabama is deploying 30 NCR
SelfServ ATMs with SDM, which is the only technology in deployment that
allows consumers to deposit both cash and checks simultaneously, in any
orientation, through a single slot. This consumer-friendly technology
makes ATM deposits faster and easier, and helps banks improve the
customer experience.
“Peoples Bank of Alabama is dedicated to helping our customers save time
and money. Working with NCR to offer our customers the latest in ATM
technology made perfect sense, as NCR SelfServ ATMs with SDM were the
fastest and easiest deposit-taking ATMs that we saw,” said Chris Sawyer,
president, Peoples Bank of Alabama. “And with NCR’s APTRA software,
we’ll be able to improve the speed and efficiency of our back office
processing.”
In addition, the bank will run NCR APTRA ATM Passport, which seamlessly
integrates the ATM Deposit transactions with their item processing
provider for deposit review and validation. This technology will enable
Peoples Bank of Alabama to decrease the back office costs associated
with the processing of these transactions. Also, the transactional
information is made available almost immediately for deposit review,
which mitigates the risks associated with any remote deposit capture
channel used by the consumer.
“NCR has made software and hardware innovation around the ATM channel a
priority, so that we can help institutions such as Peoples Bank of
Alabama deliver the best experience possible for their customers,” said
Michael O’Laughlin, senior vice president, NCR Financial Services. “With
our SDM technology and robust software including APTRA ATM Passport, the
bank can have confidence in its ATM network.”
NCR SelfServ ATMs have been purchased by financial institutions in more
than 110 countries around the world. NCR has been the global market
share leader in ATMs since 1986 — 24 consecutive years.1
