NORTH CANTON, Ohio -- Diebold, Incorporated, (NYSE: DBD), a worldwide leader in self-service automation, and Sumx Inc., an electronic banking solutions provider for the financial industry and a 37 percent-owned subsidiary of Britton & Koontz Capital Corp. (NasdaqSC: BKBK), announced today the finalization of a multi-year agreement to market, install and support Sumx' Internet banking solutions.
Through this agreement, Diebold will offer its customers a choice of customized, in-house or data center options for Internet banking through the SumxNet Internet banking platform.
"This new strategic relationship will allow us to broaden our offerings in the software and professional services arena and provide customers with a comprehensive Internet banking solution that can be integrated with other delivery channels such as the ATM," said Wesley Vance, president, Diebold North America.
"Because of Diebold's substantial resources, financial institutions choosing SumxNet as their Internet banking platform will receive levels of service and support not available from other vendors. We see great opportunity with financial institutions that have not yet deployed Internet banking as well as those that are considering replacement alternatives," said Bazile Lanneau, Jr., president and CEO of Sumx Inc.
According to a Diebold release, SumxNet eliminates financial institutions' dependence on service bureaus by enabling them to incorporate customer information directly into their in-house Internet banking systems, which allows them to package and price Internet banking offerings as they choose.
SumxNet also features a transaction tracking and billing system, check categorization system, unlimited customer history depth, check image access and bill payment.
