Fubon Bank Refreshes ATM Fleet Look with NCR Solution First bank in Hong Kong to deploy new NCR Personas M Series 76 ATMs

Fubon Bank (Hong Kong) Limited (“Fubon Bank”) today announced its plan to begin refreshing its complete automated teller machine (ATM) fleet with new NCR models, making it the first bank in Hong Kong to deploy NCR’s latest Personas M Series 76 interior ATMs. With the introduction of this new technology, Fubon Bank aims to further enhance its service quality and fulfill its “Value Banking” service commitment to offer customers the best banking service available. The deal with NCR includes the purchase of new units, as well as maintenance services and NCR’s APTRA™ software solution.

The NCR Personas M Series 76 ATM comes with a stylish and modern design and the latest LCD touch colour screen technology, which is extremely easy-to-use by all user groups. The new ATM offers a wide range of innovative features in a single unit, such as Intelligent Deposit and passbook printing, to name a few. Fubon Bank will use NCR’s APTRATM Promote software to make good use of the new ATM colour screens as an advertising platform for displaying the bank’s latest market promotional campaigns. Fubon customers will be informed of the Bank’s latest promotions while their transaction is processed, without adding extra time to the sequence.

Fubon Bank is also offering enhanced security and protection for its customers as they enter their personal identification numbers (PINs). The units feature added privacy filters at the LCD display screen which makes the screen unreadable by others when viewed from the side or back. They feature special privacy panels over the keyboard pads to avoid shoulder surfing attempts to view PINs being entered and are also installed with customer privacy wings located on both sides of the ATM fascia to further enhance transaction privacy.

Shera Lee, Senior Vice President and Head of Consumer Banking for Fubon Bank, said, “We are delighted to be the first bank in Hong Kong to deploy NCR’s new Personas M Series 76 ATMs. These new ATMs not only allow our consumers to enjoy the latest technology, but also offer an enhanced transaction experience compared to conventional ATM transactions. Our staff strives for continuous change in fulfilling our Bank’s five core values: Customer centrism, People, Professionalism, Teamwork and Innovation. Enhancing our ATM service is an integral part in putting our values into practice. Looking ahead, we will continue to provide more products and promotion offers to ensure our customers get more than they expect.”

“We are pleased that the NCR Personas M Series 76 has earned positive recognition from our bank customers worldwide. We are equally excited that it has been selected by Fubon Bank in Hong Kong and represents the first deployment in Hong Kong,” said Anita Tsui, Sales Manager for NCR’s Financial Solutions Division in Hong Kong. “ATMs are the most frequent touch points between banks and customers. We believe the new Personas M Series’ innovative, modular and highly-secured features will not only bring a more convenient and trusted transaction experience to consumers, but will also protect the bank’s long-term investment.”
