Sudan gets its first ATMs

Omdurman National Bank in Sudan has launched and implemented the country`s first ATMs, says global channel banking software solutions provider CR2.

According to a Finextra report, the bank has rolled out its first 10 ATMs in the capital city, Khartoum and will roll out a further 12 throughout the country including Port Sudan and Wad Medini.

Omdurman has licensed BankWorld ATM Client, Controller and Distributor. BankWorld Client allows the bank to brand its ATMs in the same manner as other channels. BankWorld Controller provides ATM fault diagnostics thus reducing maintenance call-out costs. With BankWorld Distributor, ATM administration is streamlined by allowing software updates to be executed remotely and at a time that the ATMs are least likely to be in use.
