Penkių kontinentų Bankinės technologijos (BS/2), part of the Penki kontinentai group of companies, presents the new ultra-modern ATM ProCash 4000, made by the German manufacturer Wincor Nixdorf in Lithuania and Eastern Europe.
Among other features, this device is specially adapted for disabled people, dispenses and accepts cash and allows different banking transactions to be carried out. However, the most important feature is the fact that it “recognizes” the money it takes in and returns it to circulation (recycling).
“There were no ATMs at this level of sophistication in Lithuania and most Eastern European countries before. There are devices which accept cash, but they do not return it to circulation. When their banknote cassettes are filled, they must be replaced with empty ones, adding significant cost to the operation of the ATM,” Mantas Baršys, the head of the Marketing department of BS/2, explains.
According to him, these devices should be marketable both in our country, where banks have recently begun installing ATMs which accept cash, and in other Baltic and Eastern European countries.
“Collection of money in ATMs, i.e. replacement of empty banknote cassettes with full ones and filled cassettes with empty ones, is one of the most costly aspects of operating an ATM. The new device presented by us allows the bank to minimize these costs,” M. Baršys says.
The ATM ProCash 4000, which meets the highest safety requirements, “recognizes” banknotes of 120 different denominations and the device can contain a total of up to 12.5 thousand banknotes.
