NCR teller cash recyclers can reduce cash deposit transaction times by up to 50 percent and cash dispensing transaction times by up to 40 percent.

 

“There is a growing trend for financial institutions to transform their branch banking experiences with new technologies. NCR is playing a critical role to assist banks during this transformational journey with our next-generation solutions to unlock amazing customer experiences,” said Dimitri Kanellopoulos, Country Manager for NCR South Africa. “The NCR teller cash recycler’s transforms branch experience by enabling tellers to interact with customers face-to-face without any boundaries.

According to a 2014 McKinsey & Company report, consumers are 60 percent more likely to be active retail branch users than mobile or online, and consumers see these additional banking channels as complementary to the core branch channel. However, consumers still expect higher value interactions at their bank branches and since the teller cash recycler automates cash handling by tellers at the branch, it enables them to process transactions more quickly and efficiently while offering a greater customer experience.
