FinTech’s digital revolution is shaping consumer spending habits and placing huge pressure on our high street banks to reduce overheads.
From vanishing branches to shrinking workforces, the drive to cut costs has had a major impact on how these vital financial institutions operate.
Increasingly, banking chiefs are looking at new ways of managing their cash machine assets and the benefits they offer in controlling spending and developing revenue.
Across Europe, banks are either outsourcing their ATM channels or joining forces to ‘pool’ ATM estates to ensure a reliable supply of cash.
While the declining use of notes and coins is well-documented, there’s an increasing awareness of their continued importance to a great many consumers.
In the UK, the influential Access to Cash Review, led by ex-financial ombudsman Natalie Ceeley, last year revealed that good old-fashioned paper money remains essential to as many as eight million Brits.
This means banks are having to balance meeting the needs of a large section of the population with running a viable business.
ATM outsourcing to an IAD
By outsourcing their ATMs to an independent ATM deployer (IAD), banks can make significant savings and benefit from highly specialised sector knowledge.
A forward-thinking IAD knows how to drive additional revenue from cash machines in a way that goes beyond simple transactions.
