DALLAS - Nov. 16, 2001 - The Fujitsu Series 8000 line of ATMs has received certification to operate with eFunds Corp.'s ATM network, according to a Fujitsu Transaction Solutions Inc. news release.
The Fujitsu Series 8000 Model 8040, a through-the-wall, full-function ATM, was beta-tested at eFunds' Milwaukee-based test lab. The Model 8040's success qualifies other Series 8000 models because they share the same basic architecture, allowing eFunds' customers to "plug and play" under a standard ATM emulation with no host changes.
Fujitsu's newest Series 8000 ATMs utilize a Windows 2000 operating system to support both traditional financial transactions and future Web-based services that may be introduced by eFunds, such as coupon and stamp dispensing, airline and movie ticket purchases, bill payments and personalized online information.
"Achieving certification by all the major ATM networks will make Fujitsu ATMs ready for use by the widest range of financial services providers, both traditional and non-traditional - from banks, to convenience stores, to retail chains and more," said Neill Collins, Fujitsu's vice president of financial systems sales.
