ICL launches CardStore for Fujitsu ATMs in Mexico

March 21, 2002

SAN DIEGO-- ICL, an international supplier of IT systems and services, has introduced its CardStore application to be used in the Fujitsu Series 7000 ATM, which will combine the latest ATM and cash-dispensing capabilities with a fingerprint scanner.

ICL presented CardStore during the Tecnobanca trade show in Mexico City. Banorte, which operates more than 600 bank branches throughout Mexico, is the first to pilot CardStore technology in a program that enables employees at a manufacturer to gain quick access to cash from their paychecks.

At the beginning and end of a work shift, an employee inserts a smart card in an electronic reader, then his or her finger in a fingerprint scanner to verify identify.

This also allows employers to collect time and attendance information. At the end of a pay period, the employee can retrieve cash from an ATM as needed.

ICL's Financial Services division partnered with NetLink Transactions Services to provide the new CardStore application on Fujitsu ATMs for Banorte, and with its in-country business partner, Microformas.
