BARCELONA, Spain- NCR Corp. and Poste Italiane, the national Italian post office, struck a multimillion euro deal for the deployment of 1,000 NCR Personas M ATMs.
According to a news release, the new units dispense cash and provide bill-payment services. To pay bills, customers insert a giro payment slip into a special image reader that's integrated within the ATM. The image reader is called Postamat by Poste Italiane. Once decoded by the system, customers use an ATM or bank debit card to complete the transaction.
The new ATMs are expected to be deployed across Italy this fall.
"I am confident that this solution, along with NCR's ongoing focus on technological research and development that improves services for the end-user, will add value to Poste Italiane's relations with its customers," said Flavio Ballarini, vice president of NCR's Financial Solutions division in Italy.
Access for those with disabilities will be enhanced due in part to the removal of architectural barriers at installation sites. The new solution will also have audio kits to guide the visually-impaired.
"The ability to handle postal giro slip payments at the ATM is part of our strategic plan to improve customer services at Poste Italiane and further enhance our customer relations," said Stefano d'Albora, information system director for Poste Italiane.
