NCR's unique IFD uses a complex set of algorithms to detect changes to the ATM that can occur with a variety of fraud activities, such as fraudulent devices that may be attached to the fascia fascia (făsh`ēə), fibrous tissue network located between the skin and the underlying structure of muscle and bone. Fascia is composed of two layers, a superficial layer and a deep layer.  of the ATM. Unlike other offers that may respond to a singular factor -- such as card skimming --IFD prevents criminals from successfully copying or trapping the card, trying to use cameras to video the consumer's personal identification number or attempting to trap the cash.

IFD offers an instant alert system and can detect the broadest range of composite materials, while remaining indiscernible to criminals and consumers. IFD was also named Best Security technology in the 2005 Banker Technology Awards. When combined with NCR's complementary security offers, such as Solidcore for ATPRA to protect against software fraud, ATM deployers are able to maximize their fraud-fighting arsenal while minimizing exposure to risk as industry and legislative regulations begin to enforce IT control for the ATM environment.

In the ATMIA Best ATM Hardware category, NCR's Personas 71 ATM was recognized for its unique ability to meet both indoor and outdoor deployment needs with its one-of-a-kind, fully-weatherized design features. This "Deploy Anywhere" ATM offers added mobility and brand reach by allowing easy placement in the most advantageous locations, including temporary event placement. This unit is part of NCR's Personas family of ATMs, designed for maximum flexibility and return-on-investment.

"We are pleased that our new 'Deploy Anywhere' ATM was also recognized as the best in the industry," said Tramontano. "As ATM deployers seek locations that can serve the most consumers and meet the greatest transaction needs, it became clear that there was an unmet market requirement for a highly-flexible, easy-to-deploy unit. NCR's Personas 71 is setting a new industry standard for a growing off-premise need."

In designing the Personas 71, NCR developed an ATM that is free of the current constraints of environmental conditions, complex or expensive physical infrastructure and large physical size, while maintaining high levels of security. With a choice of communications technologies, NCR's Personas 71 can become operational anywhere a power source connection is located. Site preparation requires only a concrete base, making deployment rapid and less costly.
