DAYTON, Ohio - NCR Corp. announced that it has signed a deal with Intercontinental Bank Plc for the rollout of 400 Personas M Series ATMs. The ATM deal is NCR's largest to date in the sub-Saharan and African region.
According to a news release, the ATMs will run on Aptra software and will include intelligent-deposit technology. NCR also is providing the networks' professional services and second-line maintenance services, as well as multivendor support.
The offer includes the adoption of NCR's Gasper self-service remote-management technology as well.
"NCR understood what we want to deliver to our customers and how that fits with our overall strategy for the bank," said Olayinka Adebiyi, executive director of strategy and finance for Intercontinental Bank. "They also presented a comprehensive service and training plan that ensures our multivendor ATM network is available whenever our customers need access."
The bank says it plans to use the ATMs' automated-deposit functionality to migrate deposit taking from the teller line to the self-service channel. For the customer, it speeds the transaction and also provides important proof-of-deposit via an image-based receipt.
"Africa is certainly one of the growing regions for advanced self-service deployment," said Bob Tramontano, vice president of self-service for NCR's financial solutions. "NCR's service excellence and strength in providing the highest-quality solutions is certainly reflected in the number of local customers that continue to select NCR to better serve the consumer."
In January, NCR announced a similar deal with United Bank for Africa. That deal included the rollout of 250 NCR units.
