ATM Industry Association presents company with Gold Award for
Innovation at 2017 ATM & Cash Innovation Europe
LONDON, June 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Diebold Nixdorf (NYSE: DBD), the global leader
in connected commerce, together with Paynet, received the Gold
Award for Innovation from the ATM Industry Association (ATMIA) at
the 2017 ATM & Cash Innovation Europe Conference. The award
recognizes the companies as the first solution providers to
implement cardless authentication technology from a project
completed ten years ago in Africa.
The ground-breaking project enabled financial institutions to
make person-to-person cash transfers available between a bank
customer and another consumer who did not have a bank account of
their own. The account holder simply sent the details of the
transaction and an authorization code to the recipients' mobile
phone. Once at the ATM, the recipient entered the code into the ATM
and withdrew the intended amount. There has been and still is great
growth potential for cardless solutions in rapidly emerging
countries with large unbanked populations. According to the World
Bank, two billion people worldwide did not have a bank account in
2015, but the majority of them owned a mobile phone.
"We were quick to realize that attractive and useful financial
services can be delivered by integrating ATM and mobile
technology," said Christian Weisser, senior vice president,
Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), Diebold
Nixdorf. "Mobile money solutions have been and continued to
be just one component of our portfolio that makes us the innovation
leader in connected commerce."
In recent years, Diebold Nixdorf
has continued to drive connected commerce through innovative
cardless and mobile technologies such as:
- Next Generation Mobile Applications: announced in May of
