DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - Riyad Bank has selected Diebold, Incorporated to deploy 100 Diebold Opteva ATMs across the bank's network.
One of the largest financial institutions in the Middle East, Riyad Bank has a network of 200
branches and more than 650 ATMs. It will roll out the new ATMs this month.
Riyadh Al-Zahrani, vice president and remote banking manager for Riyad Bank, said the bank selected Diebold's Opteva ATMs because of "their unique functionality and potential for expansion."
Riyad Bank purchased a mix of Diebold Opteva 720 lobby ATMs and Opteva 740 through-the-wall, drive-up ATMs. Both run on Agilis, Diebold's multi-vendor software platform.
Riyad Bank plans to implement Diebold's Deposit Automation solutions, which enable Opteva ATMs to count notes in bulk and read checks, processing both as a single-deposit transaction displayed on the screen and verified with a receipt. Diebold's newest generation of bundled cash deposit technology will accept a loose stack of up to 100 notes, validate and denominate the notes and immediately credit personal accounts, according to a news release.
The Diebold Opteva ATMs were sold and supplied to Riyad Bank by Alhamrani Universal Company (AU), an integrated-technology solutions provider and Diebold's exclusive distributor of ATMs) and physical and electronic security products in Saudi Arabia since the 1980s.
As a global technology leader and innovative services provider, Diebold Nixdorf delivers the solutions that enable financial institutions to improve efficiencies, protect assets and better serve consumers.
