NBB first in Bahrain to launch NCR’S 80 Series ATMs

National Bank of Bahrain (NBB) has become the first financial institution in Bahrain to deploy innovative SelfServ 80 ATMs from NCR Corporation. NCR, a global enterprise technology provider for the financial industry, will also provide NCR Direct Connection (NDC) Enterprise software to NBB to help integrate their self-service channel with the rest of its digital infrastructure.

“NCR’s digital-first technologies and innovative software platforms allow us to re-define the ATM experience for our customers and seamlessly deliver next-generation banking services across physical and digital channels,” said Iain Blacklaw, Chief Operating Officer at NBB. “Over the last 18 months our ATM fleet has been refreshed and our ATM footprint will increase by 30 per cent until the end of this year.”

NCR’s 80 Series ATMs will help NBB accommodate the growing use of mobile and contactless transactions. It features a large 19-inch multi-touch display that allows consumers to swipe, pinch and zoom their way quickly through transactions. “NBB knows they can improve their customer experience through strategic investments in hardware and software to support their digital banking strategy,” said, Hussam Zahdeh, area vice president for NCR Banking.
