Provided enhanced transaction services on the ATMs to reduce traffic to tellers in branches
Ahli United Bank Kuwait introduced enhanced ATMs which allow the offloading of additional transactions from the teller network to a self-service model. The bank aimed to reduce traffic to tellers in branches. Since tellers are over occupied with many functions, therefore, ATMs can be used for basic cash transactions of withdrawal or deposit.

Saved cost by million through enhancing their ATMs without any hardware procurement.
As a result, there has been a substantial movement of customers from tellers to ATMs for the functions which are available on ATMs. The project has been rolled out on all of the bank’s more than 100 ATMs across 38 branches.
