Banks and ATM owners must consider more imaginative strategies that preserve and improve access to cash services, while addressing operational costs and changing customer habits.

On the other hand, our deep involvement in ATM pooling initiatives illustrates how ATM fleets can be rationalized to be both more efficient to run and deliver better customer service.

2022 predictions: the future of banking

07 January 2022

The banking industry has seen many changes in 2021, both in Europe and around the globe.

We witnessed cases of banks modernising their infrastructures, the adoption of ATM pooling initiatives, and a continued focus on access to cash by governments and consumers alike.

ATM Pooling: transforming future access to cash services

20 September 2021

Banks are confronted with what seems to be an impossible puzzle to solve. Even as more customers go cashless, banks are under greater social pressure to provide access to cash, but the cost of delivering this is too high.

How to make the most of ATMs in the digital age

As there has been an increase in customer demand for a digitally enabled omnichannel consumer experience, the role of the ATM as an important channel for accessing banking services, has been challenged.

However, the ATM and its family of devices are essential to the infrastructure of the modern branch, as they can offer 24 hours of local or remote services across a whole range of products and services.

This means that financial organisations need to take action now with policies that preserve and improve access to cash and services, whilst also addressing operational costs and changing customer habits.
