Convenience was at the focal point of the emergence of ATM centers. Now, the technology has made advancements and the face of ATM has been changed drastically. With emergence of technologies including facial recognition and remittances, market players have made huge leaps and marked the rise of new dawn in the global industry. Innovative technologies have been launched by market players in order to provide convenience and flexibility to customers. The ATM industry is booming with new technologies. According to the research firm Allied Market Research, the ATM market is expected to reach $21.9 billion by the end of 2020, and experience significant growth in the next five years.
Innovative technologies have been developed by market players operating in the ATM industry and one of the novel steps is inclusion of facial recognition. NEC Corporation announced the development of ATMs equipped with facial recognition engine. The company will begin the deployment of these ATMs and replacement of old machines. Considering the advancements in biometrics, artificial intelligence (AI), internet of things (IoT), and other technologies, this next-generation ATM contains facial recognition for verification of identities and settlements of QR codes. It also utilizes IoT and AI for prediction of cash demand with precision along with detection of component failures for assisting in streamlining of ATM operations. The ATMs utilize NeoFace, the core technology of Bio-Idiom. The biometric identification technology provides rapid and secure mechanism of identity verification. Customers get a QR code that is formed on the basis of personal information mentioned from PCs and smartphones. There are records of facial images, QR code, and identification documents in camera and this camera confirms identities. NEC in collaboration with Seven Bank will offer secure lifestyle infrastructure through ATMs. The emergence of FinTech led to creation of financial services and enhancing operational efficiency of financial institution, banks, and others.
