Diebold opens Ukraine office
Diebold recently opened an office in Kiev, Ukraine, to improve the dissemination of information within the market and ensure distributor and service partner support. Representatives from major Ukrainian banks and Diebold business partners attended an event to celebrate the opening. Of interest to the audience were demonstrations of Diebold’s Opteva® and a proprietary financial self-service terminal network, which would assist in rapid development of retail banking services. Ukraine is the leading country in installed ATMs per capita among nations in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).

Off-premises banking launched in Peru
Diebold Peru partnered with Diebold Procomp to offer the TA 4000, an off-premises terminal that serves geographic areas where banking services are limited or non-existent. The terminal integrates a processor unit, number and functions keyboard and magnetic card reader. It also processes more frequent banking transactions through a functional, user-friendly touch screen, and is installed at many retail and merchant stores. Serving a bank-like role, store associates accept customer deposits, which are placed in the store's account and assist in customer withdrawals, which draw from the same account.

New Diebold solution will be “counted on” at upcoming event in headquarters community
Diebold’s newest self-service solution, CoinCount™, will venture out of the financial environment next month and into a hospital near its headquarters in North Canton, Ohio. CoinCount, a solution for consumer coin counting, will be used by Akron Children’s Hospital to count thousands of dollars in change collected during an annual fundraising event.  The hospital, located in Akron, Ohio, provides care to patients in Diebold’s headquarters community and will host its seventh annual “Have a Heart, Do Your Part” Radiothon from Feb. 10 to 12.  To date, the annual event has raised more than $2 million to fund the purchase of medical equipment and supplies, research, patient care programs and community outreach services.  In 2005, the hospital collected more than $155,000 as part of the event’s change collection program.  This year, Diebold’s CoinCount will help the hospital tally those change donations.

Diebold associate selected as speaker for TechSec conference
Jeremy Brecher, Diebold’s director of information technology and support services, was chosen to speak at Security Systems News’ TechSec conference on Feb. 26 to 28 in Savannah, Ga. He will discuss the future of open architecture, including its benefits to end-users, integrators and manufacturers.
