Diebold’s first installation of its Agilis Power Extensions software in the region will allow customers at BAC I Credomatic to use ATMs to view account statements, obtain account balances, and make credit card, loan and other bill payments that post in real-time – all with or without the use of a card.

Initially, Credomatic will introduce the e-banking channel technology to 30 to 40 in-branch ATMs, with plans to expand to select locations in Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala and Nicaragua over the next six to eight months.

15% to 20% of transactions conducted by customers at BAC I Credomatic branches are card and bill payments, said David McCrea, head of electronic distribution channels at BAC I Credomatic Network. Our goal is to drive those traditional transactions to the electronic channels.
