The self-service banking trend is growing steadily in Europe and other parts of the world. Self-service machines enable banks and credit unions to handle cash more cost-effectively and to reassign bank staff to a more profitable advisory role. And self-service is also a competitive weapon for banks, attracting customers with the greater convenience of lobby services that offer extended opening hours. CDS, cash deposit systems are part of the self-service revolution.

The bank lobby of today
In recent years, the bank lobby has become the self-service cash transaction centre of many bank branches, offering services that often include CDS (Cash Deposit Systems) for depositing notes and coins, ATMs for cash dispensing, information terminals, Internet access, coin roll dispensers and foreign exchange machines. At its most efficient, the self-service banking area creates a cash-in, cash-out loop with ATMs dispensing notes and CDS machines taking in notes and/or coins.

Introduced by SCAN COIN
The cash-in part of the self-service banking equation was pioneered by SCAN COIN, which introduced the CDS concept for coins in 1988. Our state-of-the-art CDS solutions use a patented electronic counting sensor to identify and count deposited coins. We have continued to strengthen our market-leading position with in-house-led developments such as deposit solutions for notes as well as coins and on-line depositing with direct transfer to customer’s accounts.
