Many financial institutions and their customers are highly concerned about security and demand for a safe and reliable ATM as the ATM environment changes. ATM-BankIT enhances its security functions by mounting light shielding filters to protect pin numbers from prying eyes and by responding to various biometric identification such as IC cards, finger veins, palm veins, iris, in which financial institutions can choose which method suits their service. The new ATM also enables a longer-period unmanned operation as the banknote capacity is increased to 14,500 notes, the largest in the industry in Japan. In addition, it has adopted a universal design, creating an ATM that is also easy to use for the physically challenged and the elderly.

Based on TxFlow, Oki’s architecture for the retail banking system, Oki plans to actively provide financial solutions that can also connect CRM servers and bank branch terminals.
