Auriga is deploying its WinWebServer solution
Created in 2020, the Belgian ATM Optimization Initiative (Batopin) involves Belfius, BNP Parobas Fortis, ING, and KBC.
It aims to provide 95% of Belgians with access to “a modern ATM service” within five kilometres of their home or business.
Auriga is providing end-to-end management of the new ATM network. This includes software development and management, maintenance, security and “other managed services.”
Batopin’s new ATM infrastructure will run on a single software platform based on Auriga’s WinWebServer (WWS).
The vendor says this takes advantage of its “unique cloud-based concept” for managing channels with “minimal effort”.
Kris De Ryck, CEO at Batopin says: “We’re responding to how our customers want easy access to cash.
“By partnering with Auriga […] we can optimise Batopin’s internal operations and minimize the total cost of ownership while ensuring our banks’ consumers remain delighted with their self-service experience.”
Auriga CEO Vincenzo Fiore calls Batopin a “hugely significant initiative”. He adds that it “sets a standard” for how European banks can answer customer demand.
