Designing the Future of Banking
We collaborated with long-time partner Diebold to develop the 2012 Concept ATM Terminal. This Millennial-inspired concept was the first ATM of its kind to integrate with mobile devices via the cloud, allowing consumers to complete secure, cardless transactions.
We took a look through the eyes of a new generation of potential consumers, the Millennials, and it inspired significant leaps in technology, experience, security, service, and environmental responsibility. This new ATM would allow financial institutions to project a less antiquated image; thereby attracting Millennials as new customers. By leveraging technology, the bank would see a significant reduction in cost-of-ownership.
In addition to strategic thinking, we delivered a fully-functional, appearance-grade prototype for unveiling at CES 2013. This IDEA Finalist concept ATM reinforced Diebold’s position as an innovator in the financial solutions arena.

Phone syncs with the ATM via a cloud-based server and verifies to the bank that the customer is standing in front of that particular ATM.
03 Transaction
A transaction screen pops up on his/her smartphone and lets the customer choose how much to withdrawal/ transfer
04 Confirm
The customer gets a one-time-use transaction code that he/she enters manually to confirm transaction.
05 Dispense
The cloud-based server signals the ATM to prepare to accept that code and dispense/transfer the right amount of cash.

Digital e-receipt is pushed to device and emailed to bank customer with a summary of the transaction.
