DENVER — Pendum Inc., the nation's largest independent provider of cash automation and armored transport solutions, has launched sales and service of a self-service kiosk designed specifically for credit unions through CO-OP Shared Branching and Financial Service Centers Cooperative, Inc., according to a news release.
The NCR 3800 Shared Branch Kiosk gives credit unions a tool to serve members and "guest" shared branching members conveniently and inexpensively, according to the release. Pendum, NCR's top reseller, now offers a single-source solution for the 3800 kiosk including hardware, installation, first- and second-line maintenance, cash replenishment and cash and check deposit pick-up.
"We have already fulfilled and installed more orders for this kiosk than anyone in the industry," said Robert Malik, Pendum executive vice president. "By matching this ground-breaking product with our complete line of nationwide services, we're able to provide a superior value to credit unions."
Powered by a Web-based engine from Ensenta, the leader in self-service network solutions to credit unions, the NCR 3800 allows end-users to conduct a wide range of financial transactions quickly and easily, whether at their own credit union or a shared location. Credit unions can install the kiosks in locations most convenient to their members, including branch locations, retail stores, or credit union-sponsored employer offices.
According to the release, the kiosk presents several cost-saving opportunities, including:
- Up to a 50 percent reduction in deposit processing costs versus envelope-based ATM deposits, daily check sweeps not required.
- Reductions of float.
- Elimination of up-front expense to purchase an image consolidation/validation solution.
This service is currently available to more than 35 million credit union members nationwide.
