Technologies

The following technology is covered in this research:

• Automatic Teller Machine (ATM): An ATM is an unattended electronic machine in a public place, connected to a data system and related equipment. ATMs are activated by inserting a cash or credit card that contains the users account number and personal identification number (PIN) on a magnetic stripe. The PIN is entered through an encrypted keypad to prevent unauthorized transactions. The ATM calls up the banks computers to verify the balance, dispenses the cash, and then transmits a completed transaction notice. Besides this, most machines can also accept deposits, transfer funds, and provide information on account balances.

Market Overview

Decreasing Transaction Volumes and Profit Margins Cause Concerns

The automated teller machine (ATM) with its cash & anytime, anywhere facility has revolutionized banking in the last two decades. However, in mature markets such as North America and the United Kingdom, technological advances notwithstanding, cash withdrawals continue to account for 80 percent of all ATM transactions. Manufacturers are facing lower transaction volumes per ATM compelling off-premise and financial institution ATM deployers to reconsider the economics and profitability of their estates.

In the last few years, a majority of the basic cash dispensing ATMs have transformed into customer relationship management (CRM) devices, says the analyst of this research service. They offer customized services based on insight into the behavioral pattern of each individual user, these new services could drive revenues, as they facilitate up-sell of both financial offerings such as loans, investments, and non-financial services such as coupons, and gift certificates. There could be further increase in the use of the ATM through cell phone top-ups, ring tones, and other prepaid services. ATM manufacturers are continuously developing new products with a whole suite of services including Internet banking, advertising, and couponing on to remain competitive.

Focus on India and China for New Revenue and Market Share Opportunities

The ATM industry will concentrate on offering technologically advanced products to emerging markets such as China and India to increase profitability in the long run, states the analyst. With banks and financial institutions in these fast-developing markets building up their customer service offerings, the ATM industry can expect exceptional growth. Both state and privately owned-banks are investing in machines with the latest technologies, as ATMs become an increasingly important component of the distribution channel.

Vendors are focusing on manufacturing ATMs in these regions in order to maximize customer service, address cost concerns and gain a superior understanding of the local market dynamics. For instance, the NCR Corporation has production facilities both in China and India, where it feels there is huge potential to be tapped. China has an installed base of over 60,000 ATMs, with rising demand from the country’s state-run banks. Although India installed ATM base is lesser, it is growing at a phenomenal rate of over 100 percent every year. However, the biggest challenge for market participants is mainly that of back-end and multichannel integration.
