Global technology company NCR has acquired financial software company uGenius Technology in an undisclosed deal.

The purchase is designed to drive NCR’s remote transactions through ATMs via an interactive teller.

The new teller service is set to be trialled with select US banks in the first half of the year.

Peter Leav, executive vice president, NCR Corporation commented: “By acquiring uGenius, we are delivering against our corporate strategy of innovating for our customers and reinventing NCR as a software-driven business, while allowing us to enhance existing technology platforms and create a new segment of remote assisted service.”
