New ATM Solutions Provide Customers with Services Including Bill Pay, Remittance and Cash Deposit

DULUTH, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Barclays Bank of Ghana is making its customers' lives easier with 24-hour access to extensive financial services delivered at the ATM, powered by innovative NCR Corporation (NYS: NCR) software.


Barclays, which has operated in Ghana for more than 95 years, has installed 29 NCR SelfServ 34 ATMs featuring intelligent deposit, allowing Barclays customers to deposit cash without an envelope and get immediate, on-screen validation of their deposit. In addition, the new ATMs will feature in-person bill payment and remittance software, so customers can pay a bill or send money to friends and family through the speed and security of the ATM and the Barclays brand.
