Diebold Inc. is deploying 26 ATMs for a San Diego-based credit union as part of a multi-year management-services agreement between the two companies.
More than half of the Opteva ATMs Diebold is installing for North Island Credit Union are intelligent-deposit or envelope-free machines, Diebold officials said.
The North Canton, Ohio-based ATM manufacturer has equipped the intelligent-deposit machines with a enhanced note acceptor and a bulk-deposit intelligent Depository Module. The enhanced note acceptor accepts up to 50 mixed-denomination banknotes. The bulk-deposit Intelligent Depository Module accepts up to 30 checks at one time. The balance of the machines Diebold is deploying for the credit union are cash dispensers.
As part of the Diebold's Integrated Services package, Diebold's OpteView will provide remote monitoring of the ATMs, detecting any trouble. OpteView either can fix the machine or provide a technician with detailed information about the trouble and the parts needed to solve the problem. Diebold's end-to-end solution also includes cash handling, Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance, software deployment and risk mitigation.
"The selection to partner with Diebold's Integrated Services was an easy decision for North Island Credit Union to make," said John Tippets, the credit union's president and CEO. "Credit union members will enjoy expanded services with the latest in ATM technology, including deposit automation, while we are able to meet our objective of significantly lowering annual operating costs and ATM services."
Integrated Services enables financial institutions to streamline operations and realize cost savings while providing customers with advanced banking functionalities, said John M. Deignan, Diebold vice president and chief marketing officer.
North Island Credit Union was founded in 1940 as the Naval Air Station San Diego Federal Credit Union. The financial institution's executives renamed the credit union in 1976 when it began serving greater San Diego through its 10 branches.
