GRG's 1,200th ATM in Turkey goes live

January 11, 2012

The 1,200TH GRG ATM in Turkey will be put online for Ziraat Bank later this month. The installation will be made by Altus, GRG’s local partner in service. The bank expects to complete the installation of some 1,500 GRG ATMs by February 2012.

T.C. Ziraat Bank is the biggest state-owned bank in Turkey in terms of network, customer base, assets and profitability.

The chosen model of the contract is cash-recycling ATM H68N or H68NL. As a self-service cash machine to provide withdrawal, deposit, currency exchange, bill payment, coin exchange and other services, it uses cash-recycling technology, which is still uncommon in Turkey.

H68N authenticates banknotes of multiple currencies and denominations both in deposit and dispensing process. The instant use of the deposited notes for dispensing reduces the money held in ATM to minimum, which improves cash usage and drives down operational costs by reducing the frequency for cash replenishment.

The bank is using GRG FEEL View Professional Edition to monitor and manage the ATMs. FEEL View Professional Edition is a system for both Multi-Vendor ATM monitoring which is able to support the latest Cash Recyclers and the comprehensive back-office management. The latest version can now support Turkish language on its user interface.
