Capitec Bank deployed Diebold ATMs to deliver advanced functionality, enhanced security and convenience to its consumers.

Diebold's cash recycling ATMs automate note and coin validation, improving transaction flow and security. Migrating transactions from the teller line to the self-service channel makes money management more convenient for the user, while also allowing Capitec's tellers to focus their time on providing value-added services to consumers.
"Our clients will benefit from Diebold's cash recycling ATMs by having the ability to make advanced transactions, such as coin deposits," said Riaan Stassen, CEO, Capitec Bank. "This provides our clients with more control over their money and added convenience since these transactions can be performed at the self-service channel."
In addition, the new cash recycling ATMs will soon be equipped with fingerprint recognition technology using a tiered biometric security approach, which helps mitigate card skimming. Clients will have the choice to perform transactions using either fingerprint verification or their bank card, both transactions requiring dual authentication.
"Capitec Bank has been a valued customer for more than a decade, and we are excited it is the first bank in South Africa to deploy ATMs featuring advanced transaction functionality and fingerprint recognition technology in a single machine," said Dave Wetzel, VP and MD of Diebold EMEA. "Diebold's Opteva ATMs will allow Capitec Bank to improve their branch efficiencies, while offering convenience, security and better outcomes for end users."
