Monday 15 February 2010 16:46 CET | News

Mobile software services provider Sicap, a Swisscom owned company, has teamed up with ATM manufacturer and IT solutions provider Wincor Nixdorf to develop a series of ATMs specifically designed for mobile money services, including cash-in / cash-out transfers.

Jointly designed and developed by Sicap and Wincor Nixdorf to install in retail outlets or offsite prime locations, the machines are set to kick-start the usage of ATMs for mobile network operators.
The ATMs have initially been configured for three high-demand solutions: mobile cash remittance, cash topup and self-service subscription management. Sicap and Wincor Nixdorf have jointly pioneered the design and development of the three solutions whereby Wincor Nixdorf manufactures the ATMs and their server-based software, while Sicap architects and implements the service to the operator environment.

Cash Remittance

The Sicap and Wincor Nixdorf Cash Remittance ATM solution offers mobile phone users cash–in/cash-out transfers. The sender enters the phone number of the recipient and a security PIN on the touch screen and inserts the amount into the ATM. The recipient can withdraw the money from any participating ATM.

Cash Topup

The Sicap and Wincor Nixdorf Cash Topup ATM solution aims to cut back on operators prepaid reload commissions down to zero. Users can top up a mobile account balance by inserting cash into the specially designed, operator-branded ATM. The Sicap server updates the mobile account in the operator’s billing system and any m-wallet server, without the need to involve a banking or ATM network infrastructure.

Self-Service Kiosk

The Sicap and Wincor Nixdorf Self-Service Kiosk ATM solution provides touch screen access to accounts, allowing mobile customers to manage their own subscription, mobile device and their accompanying services. The kiosk automates routine shop operations and can be customised according to regional market specificities.
