End-to-end offerings deliver advanced functionalities and enhanced consumer experience to Czech Republic
PRAGUE, Feb. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Air Bank, an emerging financial institution in the Czech Republic, is partnering with Diebold Nixdorf (NYSE: DBD), the global leader in driving connected commerce, based on its ability to innovate and deliver enhanced consumer experiences with the CS 2020 cash dispenser, software and services. The cash dispensers feature a range of advanced software-enabled digital functions, including the ability to authenticate and transact without the use of a traditional card reader or PIN pad.
Air Bank is piloting the new contactless machine that enables consumers to withdraw cash without inserting a card into the card reader. Instead, for user authentication, they can tap a near field communication (NFC)-enabled card, a NFC-stick or a NFC-sticker, that can be stuck onto a smartphone, for example, to the reader and enter their PIN on an encrypted touchscreen. The simplification of the user interface enables consumers to benefit from fast, convenient transaction processing which creates a better consumer experience. The addition of a contactless reader and an encrypted touchscreen for PIN entry further enhances the consumer experience by eliminating the risks of card trapping and skimming attacks.
For the first time—and within less than six months of becoming a combined company—Diebold Nixdorf has rapidly configured and deployed a complete end-to-end solution for Czech Republic’s Air Bank with state-of-the-art hardware technology powered by advanced software and supported with world-class services.
