Wincor Nixdorf to supply 100 ATMs for $5.9B FI

Susquehanna Bancshares Inc., a $5.9 billion financial services holding company, will install approximately 100 Wincor Nixdorf ProCash ATMs -- including cash dispensers, full-function interior and through-the-wall ATMs and drive-up machines -- for its bank subsidiaries throughout the mid-Atlantic United States during the next 18 months. Wincor Nixdorf's ProCash 1500xe, 2100xe, 2150xe, 2250xe and 2350xe models will be installed at Susquehanna. IBM, Wincor Nixdorf's partner in the United States, will provide hardware services including deployment, installation and ongoing maintenance for all brands of ATMs in Susquehanna's fleet. According to a news release, Susquehanna also selected Wincor Nixdorf's ProTopas multi-vendor software and ProView ATM monitoring software. The ProClassic software platform allows Wincor Nixdorf software to run on other brands of ATMs, with screens, transaction sets and other parameters downloaded via the network. Wincor Nixdorf's ProTopas multi-vendor manager platform will provide Susquehanna with increased functionality and the ability to integrate new ATM transactions. ProView, Wincor Nixdorf's ATM management tool, will allow Susquehanna to monitor its entire network, including ATMs from other manufacturers, and repair certain problems remotely without dispatching a technician to ATMs. Susquehanna also will selectively upgrade its remaining 60 ATMs from other manufacturers with upgraded PCs, color monitors and PIN pads that support Triple DES, as well as new voice guidance features for visually impaired customers. These ATMs will also run on Wincor Nixdorf software after the conversion, according to the release.
