Kuveyt Türk Bank of Turkey has launched the unique Extreme Teller Machine (XTM) based on KAL ATM Software. The XTM combines multi-touch ATM functionality with video conference-based support for branch transactions, providing service 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Selim Bayhan, vice president of application development, said: “The innovative XTM was ready for market deployment very quickly because it was built on KAL’s multivendor Kalignite Platform.”
The Kalignite Platform enabled component integration, system testing and deployment to be completed within just a few months of being conceived by the bank. The XTM comprises 19 device components, many of which are not usually used at ATMs or in other types of self-service systems, such as a signature pad, document box with shutter, A4 printer, camera, and telephone.
Already integrated with the GRG ATM hardware and all other XTM components, the Kalignite Platform allowed Kuveyt Türk Bank to build the XTM application with minimal support from KAL. Using the Kalignite Platform, Kuveyt Türk Bank created the XTM’s business logic, user interface and terminal-to-host communications by itself, selecting virtually any components it wanted to integrate with the XTM. The result is an innovative self-service system that minimises branch start-up costs, reaches more customers, provides 24/7 banking services and provides a unique user experience. These units are now in live use in Istanbul and have been a great success with customers.
