MEXICO CITY -- Banamex has purchased 500 new ATMs from Diebold Mexico. The machines will be serviced through Diebold's 39 service centers nationwide. Installation is anticipated to be completed by July 2001.
According to Banamex, the purchase is part of the bank's strategy to support Web-based technology through its ATM network of self-service terminals.
