The Chunghwa Post continues to expand its financial service activities. Each one of its 1,320 branches is now equipped with at least two ATMs for a total of 3,160 systems. Wincor Nixdorf’s share of that business is growing continuously. As part of a two-phase contract, the Chunghwa Post ordered 532 ProCash 2000xe terminals in May 2004, followed by an additional 116. The systems were customized to meet the individual requirements of the local branches, and can be quickly and easily modified to include new functions. The rollout has been successfully completed.

This contract is significant, given the fact it was won as part of a fiercely competitive public tender process. A key requirement of the Chunghwa Post public tender was for competing systems to pass a user acceptance test. Within eight hours, all systems had to prove their ability to fully meet all user requirements. Wincor Nixdorf’s technology not only passed the test in every single category but also satisfied the special requirement to read chip cards.
