ATMs have evolved from simple machines to complex fully interactive, customer touchpoints, dispensing everything from cash and concert tickets to pre-paid cards and featuring state-of-the-art, built-in devices such as scanners and streaming video.
As the ATM channel has grown increasingly important to banks, BPC created SmartATM—a sophisticated ATM network management system that allows you to automate, service and monitor your ATM network management. SmartATM ATM management software monitors cash flows to pinpoint patterns and accurately forecast demand. As a result, your bank can reduce operational costs and maintain the right amount of cash at each location, while improving return on cash assets.
SmartATM interfaces with ATMs from all leading manufacturers including Diebold, NCR, and Wincor Nixdorf. In addition, the ATM management system supports all typical ATM transaction types such as cash withdrawal, balance inquiries, PIN change, mini-statements, envelope cash deposit, and funds transfer. Value-added transaction types include cash-in, mobile telephone top-up, service activation, and utility and bill payment. Extended ATM management functions such as payment services, repayments, cash recycling, and currency conversion are also supported.
Configure your ATM network to match your business structure—by location type, geography, region, and branch or any combination of these parameters. You can also upload marketing screens to ATMs remotely. SmartATM features a contextual interface that allows you to design and display messaging that matches individual cardholders to coincide with marketing campaigns.
