- Travelex is partnering with NCR Atleos to upgrade 600 ATMs across eight countries.
- Travelex will replace its old machines with NCR Atleos’ SelfServ ATMs equipped with advanced software and Vision, a SaaS monitoring tool.
- NCR Atleos will also facilitate Click and Collect functionality, which allows U.K. customers to pre-order currency online for fast, in-person pick-up at select airport ATMs.
Foreign exchange and travel services company Travelex announced today it has selected NCR Atleos to replace a set of its ATMs. The new machines will replace Travelex’s old ones in locations across the U.K., Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Czech Republic, Australia, and New Zealand.
In an effort to refresh its international ATMs, the U.K.-based company is swapping out the hardware and software of its 600 ATMs across eight countries. In their place, Travelex will put NCR Atleos’ SelfServ ATMs loaded with the company’s software and Vision, a SaaS monitoring tool.
“Travelex is dedicated to simplifying our customers’ access to international money, however and whenever they choose, and our expanded partnership with Atleos directly supports this mission,” said Travelex Chief Customer Officer Simon Jackson. “By relying on the experts at NCR Atleos for the implementation of modern ATM technology, we gain efficiencies and streamlined operations while adding value for our customers, ensuring travellers across the globe have reliable, secure and easy access to their cash.”
The new ATMs will not only be able to support domestic currency transactions, but they will also offer enhanced capabilities that leverage the machines’ touch screens and barcode readers. Some areas will also offer ATMs with contactless readers, which enable customers to make withdraws by tapping a card or an NFC-enabled phone or smartwatch.
The SelfServ ATM also supports Travelex’s Click and Collect, a function to help U.K. customers pre-order foreign currency online at a favorable rate, then pick it up at one of 50 of Travelex’s airport ATM locations in the U.K. “We are making it possible for travelers to access currency exchange via self-service,” explained NCR Atleos Executive Vice President, Global Sales Diego Navarrete. “We are proud to support Travelex in enhancing their ATM infrastructure, ultimately continuing to expand financial access for consumers around the world.”
This is not the first time the two have teamed up. NCR Atleos has powered Travelex ATMs in other markets in the past. NCR Atleos previously supported Travelex ATMs in other geographies at airports and travel hubs.
Founded as NCR Corporation in 1881, the firm spun out NCR Atleos in October of 2023 to run as an independent company focused on ATMs. Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, NCR Atleos employs 20,000 people across the globe to facilitate hardware, software, and service for line of ATM-related technology.
Travelex’s integration of features like contactless transactions, touch screens, and barcode readers will set a new standard for ATMs. This reflects the industry’s focus on both improving efficiency and enhancing the customer experience.
