NCR SelfServ 91 serves as first stage of retail network transformation
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 7, 2014--
The National Bank of Abu Dhabi (NBAD),
UAE’s premier bank, is the first financial institution in the Middle
East to select NCR SelfServ 91, a new hardware platform that will help
NBAD transform its branches and extend its retail banking footprint.
As the latest in branch banking technology from NCR
Corporation (NYSE: NCR), the global leader in consumer transaction
technologies, NCR SelfServ 91 is a modern, sleek, in-branch ATM that can
help migrate low-value transactions from the teller line to
self-service, freeing branch staff to focus on sales and customer
support.
“At NBAD we believe that to be recognised as the World’s Best Arab Bank,
we need to put our customers at the forefront and do the right things,
the right way,” said Abdulla Al Otaiba, Senior Managing Director of
Retail & Commercial - Gulf at NBAD. “NCR’s new branch transformation
technology helps bring tellers and all of their equipment out from
behind the counter and allows them to interact with customers in an open
environment, while retaining the human touch. This helps us to improve
efficiency, enhance customer experience and increase sales.”
When paired with next-generation NCR Interactive
Banker software, SelfServ 91 can complete as much as 90 percent of
typical teller transactions and connect in-branch employees to
server-based software that delivers fast, real-time customer and
transaction data to tablet PCs, freeing employees to roam the branch and
assist customers as they conduct transactions.
“Consumer experience at the bank branch is about to change more
dramatically than it has in more than a generation,” said Habib Hanna,
managing director for South Gulf and Pakistan, NCR. “The roadmap to
branch transformation begins here, and additional software will unlock
even greater capabilities as financial institutions move their
associates into the open to directly interact with consumers and provide
in person assistance, similar to what we experience while shopping or
checking in to the airport.”
