According to an independent research released by Retail Banking Research (RBR), NCR once again holds the #1 market share position. This is for the twenty-fourth consecutive year that financial institutions around the globe have turned to NCR Corporation for more automated teller machines (ATMs) than any other provider.
"Self-service has become a way of life, and we are pleased to be the leading provider of self-service technology to financial institutions worldwide," said Michael O'Laughlin, Vice-President & General Manager, NCR Financial Services. "Our innovative new NCR SelfServ family of ATMs is helping financial institutions drive even more transactions to the self-service channel, giving consumers a better experience and providing financial institutions a more flexible and less expensive channel to interact with their customers."
According to RBR's report, the total number of ATMs topped the two million mark for the first time in 2009, with 2,089,524 deployed worldwide. In comparison, only 284,000 ATMs existed 20 years earlier in 1989. The installed base of ATMs continued to grow in the mid-to-high single- digits or more in all regions through 2008 and 2009, despite the pervasive market disruptions and challenges encountered by financial institutions during this period.
