Auriga is pleased to be attending Retail Bank Transformation Europe 2026 in London, where Auriga’s Customer Success Manager, Brendan Thorpe, will be joined by Auriga customer Batopin to discuss how Auriga’s technology has supported the transformation and scaling of Batopin’s nationwide ATM network.
Taking place in London, UK, on 17 – 18 November 2026, the event brings together retail banking leaders from across the globe to share insights, explore new technologies and discuss the developments shaping the future of the industry.
From Vision to Scale: Batopin’s ATM Pooling Transformation
On Tuesday, 17 November at 1:45 PM GMT, Brendan Thorpe and Wim Van Heesbeke, Chief Information Officer at Batopin, will deliver a joint presentation titled “From Vision to Scale: The Batopin ATM Pooling Transformation Journey”.
The presentation will explore how Auriga has supported Batopin’s transformation, bringing together the ATM estates of four traditional Belgian banks to create a nationwide cash-access service.
How Auriga Supports Batopin’s Nationwide ATM Network Transformation
Auriga supported Batopin’s ATM network transformation by enabling the underlying technology platform to evolve and scale alongside the development of a nationwide cash-access service in Belgium. The partnership played a key role in supporting Batopin’s transition from inherited ATM infrastructure, to an industrialised operating model designed to balance accessibility, service reliability and economic sustainability.
As Belgian banking shifted from staffed branches towards unmanned cash-access locations, Batopin needed to manage ATM locations and real estate, construction and facilities, cash forecasting and cash-in-transit coordination, ATM technology, daily operations, customer support and financial reconciliation.
Today, Batopin operates this model at national scale, balancing cash accessibility for Belgian citizens, reliable daily service and economic sustainability.
Discover Auriga’s ATM-as-a-Service (ATMaaS) Solution
Alongside the presentation, Auriga will showcase its ATM-as-a-Service (ATMaaS) offering, a modular approach designed to help banks, banking groups, service providers and independent ATM deployers modernise and manage their self-service networks.
The offering covers six service domains: core ATM transactions, monitoring, ATM security, cash management, financial back-office and dispute management. Each domain can be deployed as software operated by the financial institution or as a service managed by Auriga, depending on operational requirements.
