AUSTIN, Texas -- Wincor Nixdorf, one of the global leaders in open ATM hardware and multi-vendor software solutions that improve branch efficiencies, today announced that AmeriChoice Federal Credit Union has installed the ProCash 2250xe ATM for its main office in Mechanicsburg, Pa. AmeriChoice plans to install additional ProCash 2250xe ATMs by the beginning of 2005.

Designed for drive-up ATM banking, the ProCash 2250xe is a full-function, through-the-wall ATM that fits any standard drive-up installation in the U.S. It comes standard with a sunlight viewable 12.1" LCD screen that is readily visible in strong ambient light conditions and includes basic functions of cash dispensing and information display. It can be easily enhanced for other applications including deposits, printing documents such as statements, and web-enabled initiatives, making the ProCash 2250xe ideal for one-to-one marketing at the ATM.

"We compared the ProCash 2250xe ATM with other vendors and we were most impressed with the ease of maintenance, competitive cost and the modern look of the Wincor Nixdorf ATM," said Diane Markley, Assistant Vice President, AmeriChoice Federal Credit Union. "Lower overall cost of ownership is an important factor for us and we believe the ProCash 2250xe is one of the most reliable, cost-effective solutions available on the market today."

"AmeriChoice needed a drive-up ATM solution that would not only meet the demands of their branches but provide a solution that would provide the best ease-of-use for their members," said Jeff Kalinoski, Vice President of U.S. Wincor Nixdorf Banking. "AmeriChoice's top priority is to provide the best customer service, and the Wincor Nixdorf ProCash 2250xe is the ideal system to meet that priority."
