DULUTH, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, the ATM is regarded as a convenience that, before its England debut in 1967, would have been considered inconceivable to the common consumer.
Five decades later, the ATM of the connected economy has mobile-like interactions, embedded video capabilities, and the power to deliver more intelligent and interactive experiences. NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR) celebrates how far the ATM industry has come, and the evolution of the technology that remains at the center of banks’ efforts to reinvent the retail experience and transform their branches.
“What started as a simple cash transaction device is now an indispensable platform that helps banks transform the branch and physical channel experience,” said Bill Nuti, Chairman & CEO, NCR Corporation. “Today, thanks to the efforts of NCR and the industry as a whole, the ATM has become a bridge – a means to blend digital and physical channels and create connected experiences for consumers, and an invaluable tool advancing financial inclusion and opportunity around the world.”
