NORTH CANTON, Ohio,
Jan. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Diebold, Incorporated (NYSE: DBD), a leading provider of innovative
self-service solutions to top retailers, is introducing a new
mobile-enabled self-checkout concept. Building on Diebold's
omni-channel expertise in the financial services industry, the new
concept combines the core capabilities of the automated teller
machine (ATM) with the convenience of contactless mobile payments
and self-checkout. With in-store mobile payments expected to reach
$118 billion by 2018, consumer
acceptance of digital wallets and mobile payments continues to blur
the line between the banking and retail consumer
experience.
Introducing simplicity to the in-store shopping experience, the
new concept enables consumers to scan items they want to purchase
while shopping in-store via their mobile device. Once a consumer is
ready to pay, they simply tap their phone at the self-checkout unit
to pay for the items when exiting. Payment is made via preloaded
card information found in the consumers' mobile wallet within the
retailer's mobile app or cash inserted into the terminal. Cash-back
can also be offered through the checkout terminal, which can
function as an ATM. This process eliminates traditional checkout
lines and increases consumer loyalty through the use of
stored-value cards, mobile marketing campaigns and membership
rewards programs.
"As a proven leader in delivering financial service solutions to
top retailers, we see many similarities between the worlds of
banking and retail. Our omni-channel expertise has enabled us to
reimagine the use of our fast, secure ATM technology to power the
new, mobile-enabled self-checkout," said Frank Natoli, Diebold
executive vice president, self-service technology. "A convergence
of the ATM, self-checkout and mobile would not only deliver speed
and convenience to consumers, but also standardizes all cash
handling into a single automated experience."
The new concept will be showcased in Diebold's booth (#204)
at the NRF "BIG" Show on Jan.
17-19, in New York.
