Transforming Banking Landscapes: The Rise of White Label ATMs

11/28/2023

 
Picture
In an era witnessing a gradual shift from physical cash to digital transactions, the demand for accessible cash remains a tangible reality, especially in countries with substantial unbanked populations. For decades, the Automated Teller Machine (ATM) has played a pivotal role in national cash management. However, escalating costs, driven by governmental pressures for financial inclusion, reduced transaction volumes, and mounting maintenance expenses, have compelled banks to seek innovative solutions.

White Label ATMs: A Collaborative Solution
Enter White Label ATMs – a proven and compelling solution to the challenges faced by banks. In this model, each ATM offers consumers the same experience and services as their bank, with costs shared among participating banks, resulting in a more cost-effective solution for each. This not only benefits the banks but also enhances the accessibility of ATMs for consumers.
​
Traditionally, ATM systems operated within fixed screen states and limited messaging protocols. However, recent advancements in ATM software, such as those from vendors like Auriga, have revolutionized the landscape. Intelligent PC-based software and flexible messaging protocols now deliver a consumer experience that adapts to the user's card, providing diverse menus and services.

Empowering Personalized Experiences with TANGO
Taking this evolution further, modern ATM software, combined with innovative solutions like TANGO from Lusis Payments, enables banks to personalize services in real-time based on consumer-specific information. TANGO's advanced architecture and processing power offer several key advantages:

1. Extensible Data Bus: TANGO's Data Bus facilitates seamless information sharing among its services. Adding or personalizing an ATM service becomes a configuration task without the need for coding.

2. Configurable Rules Engine: TANGO boasts a powerful rules engine that acts on various data fields to orchestrate workflows. From authorization checks to extended risk detection through machine learning models, TANGO ensures robust transaction security.

3. Message Management Power: Originally designed as an ultra-high-performance message broker, TANGO guarantees no transaction losses. Its multi-destination routing allows simultaneous retrieval or update messages with multiple endpoints, streamlining transaction processing.
Another exciting fact is that there are existing white label ATM schemes in Belgium and the Netherlands have already proven the viability of shared infrastructure models, demonstrating substantial cost benefits.
 
Seamless Bill Payments: A New Frontier
As we navigate the evolving landscape of banking services, white label ATMs are not only transforming cash access but also becoming integral to another aspect of daily life – bill payments. Modern ATM technologies now facilitate seamless bill payments directly from the ATM interface.
 
Consumers can conveniently settle utility bills, credit card payments, and other financial obligations at these ATMs. This expansion of services adds a layer of convenience for users, further emphasizing the versatility and adaptability of white label ATMs.

​Overcoming Mindset Barriers
Despite the evident advantages, the adoption of white label ATM schemes faces challenges. Legacy thinking often proves harder to change than technology. Banks may be hesitant to undergo short-term disruptions for long-term gains, opting for budget-driven approaches over visionary models. Yet, market interest in white label ATM solutions is growing, as banks recognize the potential to share ATMs while maintaining their unique service brand.
 
In conclusion, the era of banks exclusively operating their ATM networks is evolving. Modern technologies empower banks to share ATMs collaboratively, delivering distinct services without the need for branded signage. The economic rationale increasingly favors shared infrastructure, suggesting a future where the advantages of individual ATM signage may no longer justify the excessive costs of going it alone.

Enriching the Branch Experience

10/17/2022

​
​As a long serving practitioner in the ATM Industry I have witnessed several policy decisions that really intrigued me.  For example, some banks take the stance that their in-branch automation is solely for their own customers. Others, take a more inclusive approach allowing non-bank consumers to use their facilities alongside their own clients. I have certainly experienced both sides of this question in different parts of the world.
 
As a fan of consumer-centric businesses, I favor the latter approach, although I understand the rationale of the “my customers only” principles. However, the policy thinking around “who will you serve?” becomes further convoluted when you recognize that many banks run promotions to attract new customers, offering money to new customers as a signing-up reward. Sometimes these incentive payments can reach £100 or more.
 
Surely, allowing non-bank consumers to use your branch automated services can be a powerful recruitment aid. I mean, you know exactly where they are at that point in time, what they are doing, and you have staff on hand to help and advise them appropriately.
 
Surely this is a good thing, right?
 
Once you truly embrace every consumer interaction as an opportunity to learn something new, to deepen the relationship, then you fundamentally change the possibilities for growth.
 
Traditionally, banking automation was mechanically sophisticated but depended on proprietary vendor software to work. Consequently, banks often faced substantial costs for even simple customizations, particularly if they had a mixture of hardware from different vendors. Under these circumstances it was difficult to personalize the consumer’s experience, or to differentiate yourself from your competitors in a meaningful way. An investment in vendor-independent ATM software ensures true portability across any self-service device, thereby reducing costs and creating a greater choice in hardware.
 
Happily, this restrictive situation has changed significantly with the growing market trust in vendor-independent, multi-vendor, ATM software. Additionally, the ATMIA’s new blueprint architecture clearly separates the task of terminal management from the payments switch, and embraces the versatile ISO 20022 messaging standard instead of the proprietary and more restrictive NDC protocol. These changes eliminate two of the greatest blockers to service flexibility.
 
Banks now enjoy ready access to affordable self-service technologies, freeing them to create any branch experience they want. The next leap forward in ATM channel excellence is the application of relevant, real-time consumer information in a way that benefits both the consumer and the bank. Specifically, this step involves the deployment of workflow orchestration and machine learning-based recommendation engines.
​
Picture
​Typically, the workflow management is achieved with a modern payments switch that interacts directly with the ATM client software for both the consumer information retrieval, and the transaction processing. Ideally, the recommendation engine will be integrated with the payments switch so that it can directly influence the consumer’s interactions. The recommendation engine should embrace both rules and a variety of machine learning methods to accommodate the widest possible spectrum of applied learning. Lusis Payments’ TANGO platform is a good example of an integrated workflow orchestration and recommendation engine.
So, how might a bank leverage workflow and recommendation engine technologies to improve their in-branch experience for both their own, and the non-bank, consumers?
 
Traditionally, an ATM would collect the card and PIN information before sending any information to the switch. This is all ‘dead-time’ during which the bank has no information about the consumer to act on.  In a more consumer-centric approach, the ATM sends the card information to the switch as soon as it is entered. The switch replies with relevant consumer information that can be used to personalize the services offered. In addition, advisory information can be sent to a branch agent’s device notifying them about the consumer, the machine they are using, and what should be done.
 
Furthering this illustrative scenario, the recommendation engine might determine that a non-bank consumer qualifies for an account sign-up special offer or other guest services based on the number of previous visits, the time of day, transactions performed, etc. Special offer vouchers could be dispensed via the receipt printer for redemption with a branch agent. Simple guest services could include the waiving of the acquiring fees in return for phone number information or other contact details.
 
Numerous other relationship-building options can be easily and affordably implemented with today’s technology. The biggest obstacle to the creation of consumer-centric ATM channels used to be the infrastructure but this is no longer true. A much larger obstacle, in my opinion, is the legacy mindset among senior stakeholders that rejects the ATM channel as a vehicle for innovation and richer consumer services.
 
The financial pressures causing banks to close branches on a large scale are highly unlikely to subside any time soon. This situation is further aggravated by regulatory pressures on banks to provide third party access to consumer data – thereby inviting new competition for financial services. Now, more than ever, banks need to focus more about personalizing the consumer experiences they create as a means to strengthen brand loyalty and growth.
