DAYTON, Ohio — NCR Corp. today launched a new Web-based service for easier and faster management and processing of envelope-free deposits at ATMs.
According to a news release, more than 70 percent of NCR's 2008 U.S. SelfServ ATM orders included intelligent-deposit technology. NCR says that demand makes its new APTRA Deposit Gateway service a significant advancement for financial institutions moving to image-based ATMs.
NCR APTRA Deposit Gateway is a software-as-a-service solution that enables FIs to perform check image processing for envelope-free deposits made at the ATM.
The NCR solution, including server hardware and application software, will receive check images and transaction details captured at the ATM, consolidate the transactions and provide the FI with online access to view check images, make corrections, generate transaction reports and send image cash letters electronically. Through the SaaS model, FIs will be provided with online access to the system.
APTRA Deposit Gateway enables financial institutions to go-to-market quickly with minimal upfront investment or risk, by relying on NCR's hosted infrastructure.
"Financial institutions are increasingly recognizing the value of a paperless check processing system for ATM deposits," said Brian Pilla, director of North America financial industry marketing for NCR. "Image-based deposit technology offers significant efficiency savings, improved customer satisfaction and proven potential to drive more overall deposits from new and existing customers. APTRA Deposit Gateway eliminates the obstacles to deploying intelligent deposit ATMs by providing an end-to-end imaging solution."
NCR will host the application at its eCommerce Operations Center, which is a Tier 4, SAS 70 Level 2 certified facility built specifically for data center operations. With operational redundancy across all components, NCR provides a 99.99 percent uptime rating based on Uptime Institute standards.
