VIENNA, Dec. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Raiffeisen Bank
Group, Austria's largest financial institution, is enhancing the
consumer experience with 1,200 new Diebold
Nixdorf automated teller machines (ATMs) equipped with
advanced bill payment and contactless functionalities such as quick
response (QR) codes and near field communication (NFC) readers.
With these technical enhancements, the Raiffeisen Group is
aligning its self-service delivery channel to the current and
future demands of its customers. As soon as the ATMs are installed,
consumers will be able to pay their bills quickly and easily using
the system's QR code reader by simply scanning the QR code printed
on the bill and making changes or confirming the information from
the scanned bill using the ATM's touchscreen display.
Customers who already have NFC-capable cards will no longer have
to insert them into the card reader, but instead can utilize the
ATM's contactless capabilities to maximize convenience and
security.
The enhancement of the ATMs through barcode and NFC readers will
also enable the bank to deploy many other new applications that
allow ATMs to interact with customers' smartphones in the future –
such as a cardless cash function in which the smartphone replaces
the bank card.
"With our investment in this state-of-the-art technology, we are
acquiring future-proof solutions for the self-service channel for
the next decade, and can continue to develop our offers in line
with the wishes and needs of our customers," said Stefan Sandberger, member of the board at
Raiffeisen Bank Group.
Raiffeisen Bank Group plans initial installations early next
year, followed by a complete rollout.
"We are excited to help drive connected commerce for the
Raiffeisen Banking Group. With these technologies, the Raiffeisen
Group will be able to bridge the digital and physical worlds and
offer its customers new services," said Alexander Gradl-Noll, General Manager of
Diebold Nixdorf in Austria. "This is one of the largest
orders in the history of Diebold Nixdorf
Austria and its predecessor companies."
