Webinar to show how leveraging managed services can raise ROI on ATM, branch technology

NCR helped Extraco Banks transform the customer experience and realize greater efficiency at the same time.

July 12, 2012

Aside from the branch itself, no customer service delivery channel is more important to a bank than the ATM. For good reason. Decades of creative evolution in the ATM industry have enabled today's banks to offer their customers a financial touchpoint that is exceptionally functional, reliable and convenient.

But this has given banks a Catch-22 to sort out: To create an increasingly positive experience for the customer, banks have had to build out increasingly complex ATM networks. And these networks require an increasing degree of specialized and dedicated expertise to operate and maintain.

So how do banks continue to meet the expectations for uptime, ease of use and security customers now expect from their ATM networks, while at the same time squeezing the greatest amount of cost and inefficiency out of the system?
