BARCLAYS TRANSFERS ATM OPERATIONS TO WINCOR NIXDORF

The contract covers Barclays deposit devices, ATMs and statement printers, as well as the ATM network Helpdesk for Barclays branches. Wincor Nixdorf will also take over the cleaning of the ATM network. Steven Robinson, Director of Barclays Enable, said: “Our ATM channel is an important customer-facing channel, used by millions of people every month. Whilst we will retain control of our ATM strategy, Wincor Nixdorf is well placed to perform management and maintenance of this channel, as they have strong expertise in managing this type of project, as well as the national network to enable them to do so. This contract will improve the availability of Barclays ATMs across the network.” John Ennis, Director of Banking Division in Wincor Nixdorf said: “We are excited by this wonderful opportunity for us to apply our self service industry expertise to benefit Barclays. We believe that Barclays chose us because we are a company that offers innovation, experience and technical expertise to supplement Barclays business drivers. After Barclays operation commences, it is Wincor Nixdorf's intention to offer other Financial Institutions and independent ATM deployers use of this ATM operation, cash and maintenance service.” Staff from the existing Bank Helpdesks will be offered the opportunity to move to Wincor Nixdorf and work in the Kent Helpdesk. Barclays has fully consulted with UNIFI on this transfer. Wincor Nixdorf will also recognise UNIFI in the new location.
