NCR unveils innovative compact point-of-sale terminals
Unique design brings greater value to retailers through compact size, superior energy efficiency and improved consumer experience
DULUTH, Georgia –NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR) launched (July 27, 2010) two new compact point-of-sale (POS) solutions that feature innovative, unique designs: the NCR RealPOS™ 40 and the NCR RealPOS™ 60. Offering high performance, greater energy efficiency and a more compact size, these new terminals provide outstanding value to retailers as part of the NCR RealPOS product line.
The new designs incorporate a new thermal cooling system that enables fanless operation on the NCR Real POS 40 for a quiet, highly reliable POS system. The compact size of both terminals means that they take up less checkout counter space, giving retailers the ability to offer more merchandise in the high-traffic checkout area.
Innovative technology thwarts high-tech thieves
Wincor Nixdorf’s expanded security solution portfolio offers protection from high-tech thieves to counteract the growing number of manipulation attempts at self-service systems. The new module Anti-Skimming II and the use of optical monitoring technology mean that in the future, fraudulent attacks on automated teller machines can be effectively prevented. These new components are part of the extensive ProTect portfolio, which offers retail banks solutions for the comprehensive protection of their processes and external delivery channels.
The new Anti-Skimming II module thwarts attempts to steal card data at ATMs that take place when skimming devices are attached to the card entry slot and the customer’s PIN is stolen. The module recognizes a wide variety of skimmers when they are mounted on the ATM, and disrupts them in their attempts to read card data. If a suspicious device is detected, the system initiates a silent alarm, and follow-up actions, such as video monitoring and recording, can also be triggered.
The rising number of attacks on ATMs has also meant an increase in the variety of manipulation attempts. Optical Security Guard – Wincor Nixdorf’s optimal system monitoring solution – protects the new CINEO systems from a wide array of attacks. Intelligent recognition processes mean that criminal alterations to the device, such as keypad overlays, skimming devices, hidden or disguised cameras, or other changes – such as those that enable cash trapping – are identified immediately.
The company’s extensive portfolio of security solutions is rounded out by a consulting and service offer. On the basis of a detailed analysis of an ATM operator’s existing security processes, experts develop tailored proposals that can range from individual systems to the complete monitoring of all systems and all bank branches
GRG Banking announces solution to streamline cash handling
GRG Banking Equipment HK Co. Ltd., a subsidiary company of GRG Banking, has announced the availability of a new cash intelligence solution, which includes cash recycling systems H68N/H68NL, bulk cash deposit system P2801L and a new software platform.
According to a company release, GRG Banking’s end-to-end solution, which enables multiple manual processes to be automated, is aimed at optimizing the entire cash supply chain from front to back-office so that bank and retail employees will no longer come frequently into contact with cash.
At the core of the solution is an intelligent cash cassette, which is equipped with on-board smart chips. The memory chips store and carry a variety of information, such as how many notes are contained in the cassette, note currency or denomination and access history and error codes. As a result, these intelligent cassettes enable fast exchange of cash; for example, the cash taken from a retail store can be transferred directly to a nearby ATM, eliminating the need for taking cassettes to a CIT operator’s cash center and counting the cash there.
Software applications are also provided and controlled by a centralized cash cycle management base, which supports multi-institutional reports for dispute processing and account reconciliation.

Wincor Nixdorf is honored for innovative Mobile Money solution
The 20 innovative companies honoured this year by US magazine Banking Technology News in the 9th annual issue of “The Innovators” have one thing in common: they offer the kind of risk-taking, forward-thinking products and services required by the financial services industry to leave the financial crisis behind and bring the next level of value to customers. Wincor Nixdorf was one of the honored companies, joining a prestigious line-up that includes global leaders in the retail banking and financial services industry.
The new Mobile Money ATM solution powered by Wincor Nixdorf delivers an answer to two challenges facing banks: how to squeeze more functionality out of their ATMs; and how to enable transactions via mobile phones.
Together with Sicap, a leading provider of mobile software solutions and a subsidiary of Switzerland’s leading telecom provider Swisscom, Wincor Nixdorf now offers an ATM designed for a range of Mobile Money services, including deposits and withdrawals. Under the partnership, Wincor Nixdorf delivers the terminals together with the company’s server-based software application, and Sicap designs, customizes and implements the service to meet the individual requirements of mobile network operators worldwide.
The solution also has potential applications for banks. Instead of building out their own ATM networks to offer Mobile Money services, they can use their existing ATMs running the Wincor Nixdorf mobile payment solution PC/E Mobile Transaction Services.
For a cash remittance via an ATM, a sender simply enters the phone number of the recipient and a security PIN (personal identification number) on the terminal’s touch screen and inserts the amount into the machine. The recipient can withdraw cash from any participating ATM. Or a bank customer can send the payment instructions via mobile phone, allowing the recipient to pick up the cash at the terminal.
“Demand for these kinds of services will grow as people become more accustomed to using their mobile phones for payments,” said Nicole Sturgill, research director at TowerGroup.
“Mobile Money is a growth market and of particular interest to banks and mobile network operators at the same time,” said Stefan Auerbach, Executive Vice President Banking at Wincor Nixdorf. “Our innovative, cross-sector solution offers banks an opportunity to play an active role in this new market.”
