KAL intros addition to Kalignite software family

March 28, 2017

KAL ATM Software has announced the launch of a new addition to its Kalignite family of software — KTH Terminal Handler.

KTH Terminal Handler is an ATM driver that gives banks a new option within the data center when replacing legacy host systems or extending current host capabilities, the company said in a press release.

KTH is designed to be installed on servers within the bank’s data center, driving ATMs via a secure network connection.

The software serves as a "front-end" to a financial institution's host system on the ATM channel, authenticating ATM users and authorizing cash withdrawals and other financial transactions in real time.

KTH is highly customizable and omnichannel capable; these attributes allow banks to create new transaction types quickly and easily, the company said.

Additionally, KTH can connect to ATMs and back office systems using multiple protocols — it was the first software in the world to go live with the new nexo-IFX ATM protocol, according to the release.
