Public telephone booths in South Korea now house Wincor Nixdorf ATMs

Consumers offered convenient banking services in ‘high-traffic’ retail areas and other pedestrian locations

Wincor Nixdorf and NICE Banking, an independent deployer of ATMs in South Korea, have partnered to grow a network of cash dispensers at sites owned by the country’s top communications provider Korea Telecom (KT).

Wincor Nixdorf, a global IT solutions provider to retailers and retail banks, is supplying 500 weather-protected ATMs to NICE Banking, which has already installed 240 of the state-of-the-art systems in KT’s traditional public phone booths across the country. The remaining ATMs will be rolled out over the coming months.

The public phones in outdoor ‘high-traffic’ pedestrian locations house multiple pay phones under one dedicated enclosure. KT has removed one pay phone position in strategic enclosures to create space for a single ATM giving consumers the option to withdraw cash conveniently, as well as the option to make telephone calls via a traditional pay phone.

Wincor Nixdorf’s weather-protected ProCash 1500xe systems are available in the integrated KT phone and ATM enclosures in major cities such as Seoul, Pusan and Inchon.

The ATMs are equipped with heating and air cooling technology to guard against South Korea’s blistering hot summers and freezing cold winters to ensure maximum availability 24-hours a day, seven days a week.

“Our technology solution will help KT develop its service-orientated business model to offer consumers both convenient cash services and traditional telephone services across the country,” said Lim Khoon Hong, Asia Pacific President, Wincor Nixdorf.
