Summary
Seeking to upgrade its ATM fleet for optimal performance and the delivery of modern services, one major Nordic bank turned to Tieto Banktech for a rapid, secure modernization program that simplified their business and improved efficiency – all while maintaining >99% network uptime.

Challenge

Modernising ATMs without disrupting operations

During the COVID pandemic in 2020, a major Nordic banking player sought to modernize its ATM services across its home market and UK operations. The bank wanted to upgrade outdated terminals and reduce its reliance on a complex network of outsourcing partners, while ensuring compliance with new regulations for cash handling and cash in transit (CIT). To achieve these objectives, it needed a partner that could work reliably and rapidly and manage their outsourced requirement end to end, from software to compliance, client interface and managed services.

Solution

A phased approach to ATM modernisation

Following a competitive RFP, Tieto Banktech was appointed for an 18-month programme of ATM terminal and system upgrades and modernization. This included developing a comprehensive structure for ATM Governance, such as defined specifications for their modernization programme, as well as ensuring the new approach would meet customer needs. Tieto Banktech was also responsible for a testing, pilot, and implementation timetable that would not disrupt existing operations. Our remit covered the bank’s ATM software, as well as some aspects of the client-side integrations, on top of programme roll-out.
