We’re deeply committed to helping our NCR banking customers navigate in uncertain times as the coronavirus continues to impact businesses around the world. We’ve compiled answers to frequently asked questions to help you stay informed.

Our focus is on the safety and well-being of our employees, who are vitally important to supporting you and your business, and the communities where we operate. Our other primary area of concern is the safety of and continued service to our customers.

We want to minimize service disruptions or impacts to your business. Our goal is to offer the level of quality, responsiveness and support that you have come to expect from NCR.

We have instituted guidelines to limit virus spread and keep our employees healthy.

We are providing ongoing and transparent communications for our employees regarding our continuity plans and new preventive measures. We also established a direct line of communication to our coronavirus response task force that every employee can use to ask questions and get additional information. 

We have also implemented operational enhancements, in alignment with public health authority guidance, to limit employee and customer exposure to the virus.

We are continuing to deliver service.

Governments around the world have implemented new guidelines, including restrictions on gatherings, cross-border movements and so on. We anticipate further restrictions in the coming days. Our task force has proactively worked with each of our critical business functions and support facilities to adapt to this new working environment while we implement our own continuity plans.

We do recognize that these restrictions in mobility will have some impact on our service levels. Our intent is to minimize this as much as possible. Specifics on the modifications of our service levels will vary by country and over time. We will be keeping our local account and support teams fully updated on this. These teams will be your best source for the latest information.

While our customer engineers will do their best to clean an ATM upon installation, we recommend all financial institutions follow these guidelines for properly cleaning equipment.

Interactive banking devices used in-branch can also be effective in promoting social distancing while providing services. We recommend financial institutions follow our guidelines for cleaning equipment.

 

Increase the capacity of your ATMs to allow more cash where demand is increasing. Maximum capacity of an ATM is driven by every denomination capacity at the denomination level.
