Sparebanken Vest outsources its automated terminals to EVRY

(Oslo, 5 March 2014) EVRY has entered into a five-year agreement with Sparebanken Vest for outsourcing and operating services for the bank's traditional minibanks, deposit terminals and cash recycling ATMs. This will ensure that customers of Sparebanken Vest have reliable access to cash services from automated terminals at all times, while at the same time the bank benefits from cost-effective service delivery.

"This is a further step in our focus on the bank's core operations, and a consequence of the continuing trend for cash services to represent a diminishing part of our core business. It was important for us to find a partner that could offer a broad range of support for cash services while at the same time offering competitive pricing", says Inge Ådland, CIO at Sparebanken Vest.

"This new agreement serves to confirm the excellent collaboration that EVRY has enjoyed with Sparebanken Vest over many years. EVRY currently provides services to customers that in total operate over 5,000 automated terminals in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and the UK. EVRY offers a complete services portfolio and leading-edge expertise in secure and efficient management of banks' automated terminals. This is an area of strategic focus for EVRY, and is an area where we see potential for continuing growth", comments Wiljar Nesse, Executive Vice President EVRY Financial Services business area at EVRY.

EVRY's solutions portfolio for automated terminals encompasses multivendor software, transactions processing, surveillance, technical services, cash management and reconciliation solutions, and support services.

EVRY's services in this area mean that banks no longer need to use their own technical and financial resources to operate their automated terminals. The services delivered also ensure optimal management of the cash held in a bank's terminals.
