ATMIA Show

Join FTSI’s upcoming webinar to learn how you can create significant recurring cost savings for your currency supply chain and gain peace of mind that your physical cash is being properly handled off-site.

Our Cash Solutions Webinar will introduce you to two new professional services:

Currency Management Solution

Due to economic demands and ever-changing central bank practices, the supply and demand for cash is more difficult to effectively optimize than almost any other supply chain. FTSI’s currency management services efficiently and cost-effectively handle all aspects of the complex currency management process. From the ATM and branch through to the vault and on to the central bank interactions—reduce your costs and increase your returns!

• Adjust your cash deliveries to meet your actual demand—without risking averages or shortages—and reducing your holding costs
• Reduce network cash by 20 – 45%
• Grow your bottom line by reducing your non-earning assets, improving your revenue opportunities and your performance metrics

Vault Cash Verification

Outsourcing your cash processing and transportation? Then you know that accurate reporting of cash assets is critical.

Now, instead of relying solely upon armored service providers to provide accurate data regarding assets, financial institutions can enlist FTSI to perform an independent review of vault cash to assess the accuracy of third-party cash holdings.

This service will provide customers with assurance that their funds are being appropriately and accurately managed off-site.

FTSI Announces New Professional Services Division For Credit Unions and Community Banks

Monrovia, California (January 19, 2012)— FTSI, the leader in independent, self-service technology solutions in the Western region, is debuting six new professional services for credit unions and community banks. These new services complement FTSI’s core competencies: ATM product sales, maintenance services and cash management. The new services, which offer financial institutions cost effective technology solutions that drive savings to the bottom line, have been developed based on FTSI’s industry expertise and fostering relationships with key partners.

Currency Management Solution
Due to economic and ever-changing regulatory demands, the currency supply chain is difficult to effectively optimize. FTSI’s Currency Management Solution eliminates the guessing with a fully automated system that correctly and accurately performs the complex process of predicting optimal cash load levels. Powered by Transoft, Inc., this service provides significant recurring cost savings for financial institutions—from ATM and branch, through to the vault and on to the central bank interactions. “The ability of OptimizeCFTM to anticipate and monitor cash demand, balance costs involved with the cash supply chain, and thus identify significant cash holdings and cost reductions will provide FTSI’s customers with state-of-the-art, network-wide ATM and branch cash management capability”, stated Bo H. Holmgreen, President & CEO of Transoft.

Vault Cash Verification
For financial institutions that outsource cash handling and transportation to armored carriers, accurate reporting of cash assets is critical when there is significant exposure should a loss of their cash in vault inventory occur. It’s not uncommon for busy community banks and credit unions to rely solely upon their armored service providers to provide accurate data regarding their assets. FTSI’s Vault Cash Verification service is an independent review to validate the accuracy of the reported balance of cash inventory, identify potential discrepancies and reduce the risk of cash loss.

Mobile Banking Solution
FTSI has partnered with mSHIFT, as well as other industry leaders, to offer quick to deploy mobile banking solutions that will help make community bank and credit union brands shine in a competitive market. MSHIFT mobile banking solutions are custom built and tailored to meet the specific needs of each financial institution. FTSI’s solution features a quick configuration and no hardware or IT resources are required—enabling financial institutions to go to market in 90 days or less. Scott Moeller, CEO of mSHIFT states, “FTSI recognizes the high demand for top tier mobile banking solutions, and the need to deliver a high quality solution set for community banks and credit unions, quickly and effectively. We are thrilled to partner with FTSI to deploy mSHIFT technology to their customers throughout the Western region.”

ATM Marketing Hosted Solution
Through the support of NCR’s hosted services infrastructure, FTSI offers a hosted ATM marketing solution for delivering high-impact advertising campaigns. NCR APTRA software allows financial institutions to segment their ATM users in order to deliver the most relevant promotions and advertising. FTSI’s solution includes the design, authorship and content of the marketing messages displayed at the ATM for the end user. As a hosted service, financial institutions can take advantage of the lower capital expenditures, accelerated speed of deployment and increased efficiencies, while still meeting the highest requirements for application availability and IT security.

Check21 ATM Solution
With the growing shift to “Intelligent Deposit” ATMs, remote deposit capture is becoming more and more necessary for financial institutions to adopt. FTSI’s Check21 ATM Solution is software as a service that provides a unique and cost effective approach to processing ATM deposits. Fully customizable by each financial institution, this solution features superior risk management tools that can be used across multiple deposit channels

RiskWatch IT Risk Assessments
Regulatory agencies are scrutinizing financial institutions’ operations more than ever before. In partnership with RiskWatch International, FTSI offers software designed to assist with ensuring that IT infrastructure and ATM networks are in full compliance with agency regulations. With this software, clients will be able to easily identify vulnerabilities and define ways to reduce and/or eliminate potential IT threats.

With the creation of the new Professional Services Division, FTSI now has the ability to address the top challenges faced by financial institutions in driving growth, reducing cost and managing risk by offering turn-key solutions through a single source. “We listened carefully to our customers and looked closely at the market to develop easy to implement, targeted solutions that take advantage of new technology and focus on saving our customers time and money, “ said FTSI CEO Susan Napier. “FTSI takes a consultative approach with all of our product and service offerings, providing tailored recommendations that are designed to deliver profitable programs for each customer.”
