Featuring advanced transaction functionality and fingerprint recognition technology, Opteva allows its users to carry out transactions using notes, coins and checks from a single platform in addition to traditional ATM functions.

Diebold’s cash recycling ATMs allow Capitec’s tellers to focus on providing value-added services to consumers as the self-service channel makes money management simpler for the user, while improving transaction flow and security.

The new machines will be further integrated with fingerprint recognition technology using a tiered biometric security approach to reduce card skimming frauds.

Additionally, clients will be provided options to transact using either fingerprint verification or their bank card, requiring dual authentication in both transactions.

Diebold Europe, Middle East and Africa vice president and managing director Dave Wetzel said Capitec Bank is the first bank in South Africa to deploy ATMs featuring advanced transaction functionality and technology in a single machine.

Capitec has 4.2 million clients and offers affordable, simplified and transparent banking with personalised service.
