Atleos Corporation to Showcase Innovation at Seamless Middle East Event
NCR Atleos Corporation (NYSE: NATL), a leading provider of self-service financial access solutions, is gearing up to participate in this year’s Seamless Middle East event, taking place from May 14-16 at the Dubai World Trade Centre. The company will be showcasing its latest innovations at booth H7-D20, with a focus on driving digital transformation in the Middle East region.
Hussam Zahdeh, Area Vice President for the Middle East at Atleos, emphasized the importance of the region’s ongoing digital revolution. “The Middle East is undergoing a significant digital transformation that is fueling economic and social progress,” Zahdeh stated. “Banks in the region are leveraging ATMs to enhance operational efficiency and deliver digital-first financial self-service experiences to consumers.”
With a history of over 100 years in the Middle East, NCR has been at the forefront of digitizing the banking industry in the region. One notable example is Kuwait Finance House, which successfully implemented Atleos ATMs to streamline operations, reduce costs, and enhance customer experiences through services like self-service card issuance and gold purchases. Atleos is not only assisting financial institutions but also collaborating with government entities to revolutionize customer experiences through digital self-service solutions.
Looking ahead, Atleos is committed to partnering with banks and governments in the Middle East to expand self-service access and accelerate digital transformation. The company is introducing innovative deployment models such as ATM as a Service (ATMaaS), which offers a comprehensive outsourcing solution for ATM management. Additionally, Atleos’ Allpoint ATM Network provides surcharge-free access to cash and financial services for bank cardholders at retail locations beyond traditional bank branches.
At the Seamless Middle East event, Senior Vice President Joe Gallagher will deliver a presentation outlining a vision for the future of financial self-service over the next decade. Gallagher will explore the evolving role of ATMs as a crucial link between digital finance and physical transactions, driving a transformation in branch banking and consumer finance. The presentation will delve into consumer preferences for cash, the integration of digital money, advancements in consumer experiences, and the impact of AI and frictionless finance on the banking and ATM industries.
Visitors to Atleos’ booth at Seamless Middle East can expect to experience an innovation lab showcasing cutting-edge concepts that are reshaping the banking landscape. Discussions and demonstrations will focus on how banking interactions are evolving to meet changing customer preferences and drive operational efficiency. Topics to be explored include the environmental impact of ATM materials and power consumption, the use of consumer mobile devices as ATM interfaces, and the emergence of large screen-only ATM designs.
As Atleos continues to drive innovation and collaboration in the Middle East, the company’s participation in Seamless Middle East promises to offer valuable insights into the future of financial self-service and the evolving role of technology in shaping the banking industry.
