Video-Enabled ATM Machines

The NCR APTRA Interactive Teller Lets You Instantly Chat with Your Bank

— October 4, 2013 — Unique
The NCR APTRA Interactive Teller is a new ATM that lets you instantly chat with a bank representative no matter where you are. The machine functions exactly like a normal ATM, save for its speakers and video camera. Should you want to talk to your bank for any reason, simply activate the video feed to speak to a representative.

In addition to being able to help you use the ATM, the banker on the other end of the video feed can also give you quick financial advice and let you know about new offers and promotions. The NCR APTRA Interactive Teller is a win for both banks and the public. Banks don't need to worry about building and staffing physical branches and customers don't need to travel to said branches and wait in line.
