:NCR (NCR Corporation, Dayton, OH, www.ncr.com) A technology company specializing in financial terminal transactions, retail systems and data warehousing. Until the late 1990s, NCR was heavily invested in the hardware side of the industry, known worldwide as a major manufacturer of computers ) has once again extended its relationship with United Bank for Africa (UBA UBA Universidad de Buenos Aires (Argentina)

), the largest financial services institution in West Africa, to supply more than 350 automated teller machines (ATMs) and subsequent professional services.

The latest order is comprised of NCR's Personas ATMs, including the unique "deploy anywhere" Personas 71; Personas M Series ATMs; Gasper tools for remote ATM management; APTRA([TM]) Promote software which enables advertising and promotional campaigns on the ATM channel; and NCR Secure's remote key management offering for enhanced channel security.

In addition, this order will enable UBA to pioneer and introduce Intelligent Deposit to the area. This new capability uses NCR's image-based deposit technology to enable display of deposited check images on the ATM screen for verification and on the customer's receipt. This speeds the deposit process, while providing important proof-of-deposit to the customer.

Tony Elumelu, managing director and chief executive officer of UBA, said, "It is important to UBA to continue to lead our industry in the provision of customer services and convenience. We have had very good experience working with NCR and believe NCR's own innovation in ATMs and subsequent value-added services bodes well for our philosophy to best serve our customers."

Bob Tramontano, vice president of self-service for NCR's Financial Solutions Division, said, "The sub-Saharan region continues to offer an important opportunity for our ATM business and this latest order from UBA points to the quality that NCR consistently delivers to our customers. By pioneering Intelligent Deposit and additional new services, UBA will continue to build on its established role as a financial industry leader."
