Company Description
NCR Atleos Corporation (NYSE: NATL) is a financial technology company focused on expanding self-service financial access for financial institutions, retailers and consumers. Classified in the Software – Application industry within the technology sector, the company emphasizes self-directed banking, enabling customers to complete banking transactions through automated channels rather than traditional teller interactions.
According to its public disclosures and press materials, NCR Atleos describes itself as the leader in expanding self-service financial access, with industry-leading ATM expertise and experience and unrivalled operational scale, including what it calls the largest independently-owned ATM network. The company is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, and its common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol NATL.
Business focus and self-directed banking model
NCR Atleos states that it provides self-directed banking solutions to a customer base that includes financial institutions, merchants, manufacturers, retailers and consumers. The company highlights a secular trend toward self-directed banking, where banking customers transact seamlessly between various channels for the same transaction. Its solutions are described as enabling the acceleration of self-directed banking through ATM and interactive teller machine (ITM) technology, supported by software, services, hardware and network capabilities.
The company reports that it manages operations through segments that include Self-Service Banking, Network, and Telecommunications and Technology (T&T). In its financial reporting, NCR Atleos distinguishes between product revenue and service revenue, reflecting both hardware and ongoing services as part of its business mix.
ATM networks, Allpoint and Cashzone
A core element of NCR Atleos’ business is its ATM and ATM network operations. The company states that it operates the world’s largest independent ATM network and references several branded network offerings:
- Allpoint Network – a surcharge-free ATM network used by financial institutions and credit unions to extend cash access to their customers and members. NCR Atleos has announced collaborations where institutions leverage the Allpoint Network to provide nationwide access to cash withdrawals and, in some cases, cash deposits through Allpoint+ deposit-accepting ATMs.
- Cashzone Network – a branded ATM network delivering secure and convenient cash access across Europe and the UK. The company notes that the Cashzone Network includes thousands of ATMs, and that it supports retailers and partners such as motorway service operators and banks in providing access to cash in high-traffic locations.
Through these networks, NCR Atleos positions itself as a partner to financial institutions and retailers that want to extend physical cash access and self-service banking capabilities without managing all aspects of ATM infrastructure themselves.
ATM as a Service (ATMaaS) and lifecycle services
NCR Atleos highlights an ATM as a Service (ATMaaS) model as a key offering. In this model, the company provides ATM network lifecycle services that can include location selection, installation, maintenance and operational support. In at least one disclosed agreement, NCR Atleos uses ATMaaS and its Cashzone network resources to create a branded retail ATM network for a bank, with the goal of reducing operating costs, expanding geographic footprint and improving customer experience.
By taking responsibility for the ATM lifecycle under the ATMaaS model, NCR Atleos allows financial institutions to focus on their core mission while relying on the company’s operational scale and expertise for self-service infrastructure.
Technology, AI and self-service experiences
Beyond traditional ATMs, NCR Atleos has reported work on interactive teller machines (ITMs) and self-service kiosks. In one collaboration, the company describes deploying a hyper-realistic conversational AI-powered avatar at account service kiosks in bank branches. These AI-driven video avatars are designed to answer frequently asked questions, provide branch-specific information and, in a later phase, guide users through transactions directly on the kiosk, with the ability to escalate interactions to live agents when needed.
The company also references work on AI-driven speech analytics and automated quality management systems that analyze customer interactions by evaluating keywords, categorizing topics and assessing sentiment and tone. These initiatives are presented as part of NCR Atleos’ efforts to support digital transformation and enhance customer experience in banking environments.
Utility ATM networks and financial inclusion
NCR Atleos has published a thought leadership paper titled “Cash in the Digital Age: How Utility ATM Networks Sustain Financial Access Worldwide.” In this paper, the company discusses utility ATM networks, where financial institutions share ATM infrastructure to reduce costs and expand reach. The paper notes that such networks can support neobanks and other digital-first institutions by providing physical cash access, and that they can help maintain financial inclusion in areas affected by branch closures or shifts toward digital-only banking.
According to the company’s summary, utility ATM networks are presented as important for brand visibility, retail foot traffic and financial inclusion, particularly in underserved areas. This perspective aligns with NCR Atleos’ broader focus on self-service financial access and network-based solutions.
Customer relationships and use cases
Public announcements from NCR Atleos describe relationships with a range of financial institutions and partners, including credit unions, regional banks, global Islamic banks, motorway service operators and large retailers. In these collaborations, NCR Atleos’ role typically involves providing ATM network access, deposit-accepting ATMs, ITMs or self-service kiosks, along with associated services such as forecasting, replenishment and maintenance.
Examples include credit unions extending surcharge-free cash access and adding deposit-accepting ATMs through the Allpoint and Allpoint+ networks, banks expanding nationwide ATM footprints through ATMaaS and Cashzone-branded ATMs, and retailers hosting ATMs in store locations to provide convenient cash access for shoppers.
