Successful replacement project in Latvia

In April 2005 JSC “Penkiu kontinentu bankines technologijos” (BS/2) and its subsidiary company “Penki Kontinentai Riga” managed to succeed with Latvian bank “Unibanka” (a member of SEB group) for replacing BULL ATMs with Wincor Nixdorf ATMs that comply with all of the EMV standard requirements. The story of success has started in year 2003. At that time bank had a network of ATMs from three manufacturers: IBM/Diebold, BULL and Wincor Nixdorf. Each year the oldest and the most expensive to upgrade machines were being replaced. BS/2 has presented a scheme of replacement where old equipment was sold out to be replaced by new Wincor Nixdorf ATMs. This has greatly eased the troublesome process of getting rid of obsolete equipment. Smooth execution of replacement process in the past led to further cooperation so that now “Latvijas Unibanka” has become a hundred percent Wincor Nixdorf equipment bank. The decisive reasons to continue the replacement project were the advantages of ProView monitoring system, EMV software compatibility and service provided. ProView software installed in bank systems three years ago was the first of this kind in the whole Baltic region. “Latvijas Unibanka” is one of the oldest banks in Latvia, leading the financial products and services market. Latvijas Krajbanka Following “Unibanka”, replacement of ATMs under the same scheme has started in “Latvijas Krajbanka”. The bank has chosen to replace all of its IBM/Diebold teller machines in need of renovation under EMV standards to Wincor Nixdorf ATMs in 2004. Rietumu banka The fourth biggest bank in Latvia “Rietumu banka” which has 11 branches in Latvia and representatives in 8 countries is yet another BS/2 victory in Latvia In January 2005 “Rietumu banka” demonstrated its intention to be the most forward looking bank in Latvia introducing the market with the possibility to view card account balances at “Rietumu Bank” ATMs for VISA and VISA Electron payment cards issued by any Latvian bank. New ATMs bought by “Rietumu bank” are connected to Monitoring Center located in Latvia. This enables the bank to decrease the costs of transactions and monitoring the systems. There are over 900 ATMs of various manufacturers installed in Latvia overall. “Rietumu bank” trust in Wincor Nixdorf products is obvious, as its network of ATMs consists solely of Wincor Nixdorf equipment.
