Europe’s KBC Group Selects NCR as Sole Provider for its ATM Fleet

May 19, 2006

NCR Personas M Series with Intelligent Deposit capabilities provides desired flexibility

DAYTON, Ohio – NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR) has announced that KBC Group, one of Europe’s leading financial entities, will deploy new NCR Personas M Series automated teller machines (ATMs). KBC announced in February that it would gradually replace its ATMs in France and Belgium. This is the first contract agreement between NCR and KBC in Belgium.

NCR has been selected as the sole ATM supplier to the bank and is now starting to deliver the NCR Personas M Series 76, which will see its first deployment in Belgium. These units enable the bank to quickly and easily introduce image-based, intelligent cash deposit transaction capability, in lieu of envelope deposit.

Some of the new machines are also equipped with cash recycling functionality, popular in certain markets, which accepts, validates, sorts and stores deposited cash, quickly and reliably. The deposited cash can then be re-used and dispensed to subsequent customers who wish to withdraw cash from the ATM. The Personas M Series is equipped with various counter-measures purposely designed to combat ATM fraud.

Dirk Cuypers, head of electronic banking for KBC, said, “Our customers will be able to select their transactions from a high-quality, color touchscreen. To ensure that the ATM is accessible to every customer, the height of the ATM, as well as the size and location of its screen, makes the Personas M Series easy-to-reach and easy-to-use by all consumers, including those with disabilities.”

“We are delighted that KBC is taking advantage of the NCR Personas M Series to offer its customers additional and improved services,” said Patrick Goasguen, vice president of NCR in France and Belgium. “Providing 24-hour, image-based cash deposit capability is a serious advantage compared with the traditional way of depositing cash at the bank counter.”
