BEIJING--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 16, 2013-- NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR) today announced it has been awarded a five-year technology service agreement from People’s Bank of China (PBOC) Shanghai Automatic Clearing Centre.

We are confident that NCR will ensure the availability of our cheque clearing in making our lives and the lives of our customers easier,” said Wu Keyi, Director of the Shanghai Automatic Clearing Centre.
