Teller cash recyclers are a modern day necessity in bank branches. Due to the large amount of cash banks handle, they need a reliable method to count it that doesn't rely on bankers manually counting it by hand. Teller cash recyclers automate both counting and sorting for cash. However, newer cash recyclers are also arriving on the market, with improved cassette technology, security features and more. What's on the horizon for TCRs? This was the topic of today's episode of the Bank Customer Experience Podcast, sponsored by Cook Solutions Group.

Bradley Cooper, editor of ATM Marketplace, spoke with Scott Fieber, chief strategy officer at Cook Solutions Group Ryan Loebs, TCR expert about the history of TCRs and trends to look for in the near future.

Topics covered included:

• Costs of newer TCRs.
• How to plan to replace older units.
• Why we are seeing a resurgence in TCRs.
• How to measure ROI.

Self-service tools in banking have a long history, going back to the birth of the ATM in the 1960s. Today, there are a variety of self-service banking solutions ranging from video ITMs to chatbots, mobile banking and much more.

In today's episode of the Bank Customer Experience Podcast, Bradley Cooper, editor of ATM Marketplace, spoke with Joe Myers, EVP of global banking at Diebold Nixdorf about the ins and outs of self-service banking solutions and trends.

During the conversation, Myers covered topics ranging from the adoption rates of cash recycling in banks to customer experience trends in more. Some of the topics covered include:

• What are the top ATM features?
• How can banks made video banking work in their market?
• What about security?
• How do ITMs fit in the broader omnichannel banking world?
• How can banks successfully improve the customer experience with self-service?

One of the biggest advances in self-service banking has been the integration of video banking, particularly with ITMs. While initially only serving as video devices, banks have since integrated them with ATMs creating an all inclusive-device that can handle traditional ATM needs along with teller duties.

However, these devices can be a major challenge to deploy and manage, both on the technical level of getting all the equipment setup and training for employees and customers alike. In today's episode of the Bank Customer Experience Summit Podcast, Bradley Cooper, editor of ATM Marketplace spoke with Scott Fieber, chief strategy officer at Cook Solutions Group and Scott Smith, VP of strategic solutions at Cook Solutions Gorup of how banks can successfully deploy and manage ITMs.

During the podcast, Smith and Fieber discussed several factors and strategies surrounding ITMs including:

What are the main reasons financial institutions deploy ITMS?

• What are some unique strategies?
• How can banks make video banking successful?
• What are other key features for ITMs to include other than video?
• What services do Cook Solutions Group provide for ITM strategy?
