NORTH CANTON, Ohio - One of the largest banks in Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States recently signed a deal with Diebold Inc. to buy 250 Opteva ATMs with Diebold's multivendor Agilis software. The purchase is expected to complement the bank's existing fleet of more than 200 Optevas, which it purchased from Diebold during the last 18 months.
The bank bought three new ATM models - including the lobby, through-the-wall and the advanced-function lobby ATM. Fifty of the terminals will be capable of bulk-note acceptance, and all will support U.S. dollars, the Euro and Russian rubles.
"We are committed to making the services rendered by our bank more people-friendly and accessible," said Nadir Bakeev, deputy director of the division of information technologies for Bank Petrocommerce. "With our latest investment in Opteva ATMs, we are delivering greater functionality for even more of our customers, with features that are easy to use and that free up teller time inside our branches."
Diebold sold the first Opteva in Russia in April 2003.
