AUSTIN, Texas -- Wincor Nixdorf, one of the world's leading suppliers of IT solutions for the banking and retail industries, and ANI Advanced Network, Inc., a leading provider of ATM services, today announced an agreement that enables ANI to supply and support third-party ATM service vendors
"This is a huge step in allowing third-party vendors the ability to sell and service state-of-the-art equipment to the banking community," said Mike Bodine, sales manager, ANI customer service.
Utilizing the Wincor Nixdorf Check/Cash Deposit Module (CCDM) in conjunction with ANI's Transaction Services Inc. (ATSI) as a driving platform, ANI and its partners will have the ability to provide end-to-end electronic check services by the end of 2006. ATSI drives both financial and independent sales organization (ISO) ATMs, with over 12,000 machines on-line by the end of 2006. The Wincor Nixdorf CCDM is the Check21 choice of many leading financial institutions -- allowing for a total end-to-end electronic check processing solution. The CCDM allows up to 50 checks or bank notes to be scanned and deposited through a single opening, and without a deposit envelope.
"We believe this gives our customers one of the finest products in the industry, and one of the few ATMs that truly provides a total Check21 solution that is available now," said Bob Plunkett, CEO of ANI.
ANI and Wincor Nixdorf recently introduced a program which enables qualified ATM dealers to sell, install, service and support the entire line of Wincor Nixdorf products. These products include Wincor Nixdorf's line of cash systems, full-function ATMs, cash dispensers, cash recycling systems, intelligent deposit systems, and ATS machines in the U.S. market.
"ANI is a world-class provider of ATM services and Wincor Nixdorf is pleased to have the company supplying and supporting our line of ATMs and ATS machines, as well as our innovative CCDM solution in the U.S.," said Alan Walsh, vice president of banking, Wincor Nixdorf USA.
