BARCLAYS Zimbabwe has launched state of the art, Automated Teller Machines (ATM) that provides customers with enhanced security and a pleasant transactional experience.
The new Barclays ATMs are a part of a replacement programme that should be completed by the end of the year.
Barclays ATMs are equipped with key pad covers that prevent other members of the public to see customer transactions. Heightened security features include security surveillance equipment and screens that blur content when viewed from a distance or from an angle coupled with an SMS offering that confirms transactions real-time.
45 (forty-five) ATMs have been deployed across 70 percent of the Barclays network in Harare, Masvingo, Chiredzi, Beitbridge, Chinhoyi, Mutare, Kwekwe, Bulawayo and Victoria Falls.
Speaking on the launch of the ATMs, Barclays Managing Director, George Guvamatanga said: "Our investment in ATMs is a critical part of our commitment to improve customer experience. It is important for us to ensure that each transactional channel makes their lives much easier."
He also spoke about the anticipated launch of Mobile Banking.
"We want our customers to do more of the things that they enjoy so we make it a priority to create products that allow them to do so. 'Hello Money' does exactly that," he said.
'Hello Money', set to launch in April, allows customers to do their banking anytime, anywhere from any smart phone. The facility offers options to transfer funds to a Barclays account or to an account at another banking institution, airtime top up, mini statements and balance enquiries.
Barclays is a major global financial services provider engaged in retail and commercial banking, credit cards, investment banking, wealth management and investment management services, with an extensive international presence in Europe, the USA, Africa and Asia.
With over 300 years of history and expertise in banking, Barclays operates in over 50 countries and employs over 155 000 people.
Barclays moves, lends, invests and protects money for over 48 million customers and clients worldwide.
