Nautilus Hyosung has partnered with HCL Infosystems to provide complete ATM solutions for
Indian banks across the country with special emphasis on service offering for rural India.
With just 38000 plus ATMs in India, a country with a population of over 1.2 billion, there is a
huge demand for ATM banking services across India. Nautilus Hyosung comes with extensive
knowledge and Product experience on both the ATM and various application software
platforms and remote management solutions to make the ATM an effective channel.
Commenting on the partnership, J V Ramamurthy, COO, HCL Infosystems said, “HCL has
been working with major banks across the country for the past 33 years and with our 500+
service touch points spreading across 4,000 cities, we are well placed to address the market
anywhere in India. We are very excited about this project as we believe that this partnership
will make banking a smoother experience for many banking customers in the urban and rural
areas.”
Speaking
on the occasion, Hyun Sik Sohn, Sr. Executive vice president, Nautilus
Hyosung, said,
“Banking in India has come a long way due to a combination of factors like
increasing consumer
awareness, technological advancement and growing financial value. Our tie-up
with HCL
is definitely a long-term commitment, which will bring value to the Indian banks
and will definitely
give a good opportunity to get closer to the customers across India.”
India being an emerging market has high growth rate and size. Number of ATM
installations is approximately
38,000 units and the ATM’s per million people approximately is 33 units
as compared
to Korea which is 1,920 units. Experts forecast that the growth rate (CAGR)
is expected
to grow 18 percent up by 2013. Banks going into a self service model can have
huge potential
savings and increase the convenience for the customers.
The
“HCL Nautilus” range of ATMs will offer products that have been customized
to the various
requirements
of the Indian market. Combining ATM design and manufacturing strengths of
Nautilus
Hyosung and the experience of HCL in designing products for the Indian market,
this
ATM
incorporates technology designed to meet the implicit challenges of India.
Looking
ahead HCL and Nautilus will launch rural ATMs meant for deployment by banks
in locations
with relatively low transaction volumes and also help in the Financial
Inclusion initiatives
of banks. This solution is thus the ideal vehicle to offer cost-effective
ATM convenience
to the largely untapped rural areas taking the power of banking to every Indian.
With the global expertise of Nautilus Hyosung and the System Integration and pan
India support
strengths of HCL Infosystems; the Indian banking industry will have a proven
state of art
end to end ATM product and solution partner.
