Specific benefits for the banking industry
NCR has developed a unified suite of ATM security and software enhancements that ensure reliable, cost-effective self-service for financial institutions and their customers. Broken into a number of different categories, these benefits include:
- Banking services - With the heavy focus on technology and on-demand services, ATMs have overtaken in-branch services as the preferred means of banking for many popular services. With this in mind, NCR combines deployment, support, and consultation to ensure your organization gets the right mix of technology to satisfy customer demand.
- Branch transformation - As financial services continue to evolve, branch transformation services enable you to assist customers who expect increases in self-service options as well as reductions in wait time. With this goal in mind, NCR offers equipment that provides a host of modern conveniences, including interactive tellers, financial kiosks, cash recycling, and account services - all automated to lower the cost of each transaction.
- ATM security - Addressing security threats while combating non-compliance, NCR promotes enhanced ATM security through software that operates on the McAfee platform, as well as a number of additional technologies that position your organization against criminal activity while ensuring regulatory compliance.
- ATM, banking software - Secure integration is the key benefit here. NCR's banking software addresses issues involved with multichannel banking while ensuring the safety and integrity of data on your Windows-based platform. Also covering third-party solutions, NCR's ATM and banking software can be provided as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) package, minimizing your IT requirements without compromising on any of the benefits.
