LONDON - Russian Standard Bank has ordered 1,250 NCR Corp. ATMs as well as signed a deal with NCR to provide maintenance and installation services.
According to a news release, RSB has ordered 1,100 intelligent-deposit Personas ATMs and 150 cash-dispensing ATMs, as well as NCR's Aptra Advance NDC software, maintenance and installation services.
Most of the ATMs will be located off-premise and also will be used for monthly credit-card repayments.
"Intelligent deposit technology provides customers with a fast, convenient means of making cash repayments," said George V. Gorshkov, senior vice president and marketing director for the Russian Standard Bank. "We chose NCR because of its track record in pioneering this technology and because it is the only ATM supplier with the service infrastructure to provide maintenance and staff training across the whole of Russia."
RSB is the largest private lending bank in Russia, with 40 percent of the retail loan market. RSB has already installed NCR intelligent-deposit ATMs in Moscow, as well as other major cities.
The bank is expected to roll out its network to 120 smaller towns and cities throughout the country.
