STRATEGIC PARTNERS
March 20, 2002
LONDON -- NCR has announced four significant new deals in Greece.
Citibank has continued its long-standing relationship with the manufacturer in the Mediterranean country by ordering an additional 50 NCR Personas ATMs, to be used to expand its off-site network. The contract also includes NCR's Total Installation Services.
Popular Bank has purchased a number of Personas 86 machines, NCR's best-selling through-the-wall model, and continues to use NCR as its exclusive self-service partner. The ATMs ordered by Popular Bank will include a statement-printing feature.
Postal Savings Bank has moved into the ATM market and signed a contract for 40 NCR ATMs. NCR will also provide hardware maintenance and installation and support services as part of this deal.
Chania Bank's first Personas 86 ATMs became available for use in late February 2002. NCR managed the entire project for Chania Bank, the second-largest cooperative bank in Greece, including graphics design, telecommunications set-up and ATM linkage to the switching host. NCR provided Total Installation Services, and its Systemedia division provided supplies such as receipt paper.
Simon Rubin, NCR Financial Solutions division's vice president of marketing for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, said that Greece is an important market for NCR.
