Sparkasse KölnBonn standardizes its branch IT with technology from Wincor Nixdorf

Published: 23 July 2008 y., Wednesday

 

Sparkasse KölnBonn is the second largest Sparkasse in Germany. The bank has decided to standardize the information technology used in its bank branches; to this end, over the next four years it will install a variety of Wincor Nixdorf systems, including both self-service devices and automated teller safes.

Sparkasse KölnBonn has just concluded a framework agreement with Wincor Nixdorf that governs the installation of ATMs, cash reycling systems, automated teller safes, account statement printers, transaction terminals and self-service systems for coin deposit. The agreement covers more than 500 devices.

“With this project, Wincor Nixdorf and Sparkasse KölnBonn have entered a strategic partnership that underscores the long-standing, successful cooperation between these two companies,“ says Edmund Schaefer, who heads up Country Banking Germany for Wincor Nixdorf.

Among other things, Wincor Nixdorf will be supporting the Sparkasse in its branch strategy for the future through its Branch Optimizer software, which optimizes the cash supplies at branch self-service systems and thus helps banks save money.

All the systems ordered within the scope of this project will be operated by prosystemsIT as part of a lifecycle management contract. Retroactive to January 1, 2008, Wincor Nixdorf AG took over a majority stake in and operational management of prosystems IT GmbH, a company that specializes in IT services and provides IT operation services for Sparkasse KölnBonn.

The bank is the most important financial services provider in the Cologne/Bonn region. It emerged in 2005 from a fusion of Stadtsparkasse Köln and Sparkasse Bonn. Both the bank's private customers and local SME businesses profit from its power as the largest public Sparkasse in Germany. The bank offers personal consulting at more than 170 branches with more than 330 ATMs. A total of 5,500 employees ensure good care of customers with products and services for every phase of life, from an account for school-age children to loans for start-up companies to retirement accounts and business succession.
