Open teller system is a system that enables each staff member at bank counters or sales staff of financial institutions to complete the settlement of cash, including deposits and withdrawals, by themselves and not through tellers. As a leading manufacturer of open teller system, GLORY has developed ^*2 various systems to meet the needs of the times and to contribute to improving efficiency and strictness of teller operations, which resulted in installing the system to over 13,000 financial institutions in Japan. The demand at financial institutions in recent years has been that the number of clerical workers at branches shall be minimized, and the staff generated accordingly shall be transferred to sales operations, under the conditions that "increase of profitability" is becoming a more important business issue than ever before.

To cope with the situation within the financial market, GLORY has developed "WAVE Pro" to minimize the time required for teller operation based on the concepts "Reduce human teller operations as close to zero as possible", "No downtime of the system", "Improve risk management". Unlike the conventional system, WAVE Pro, now equipped with an image processing function, can process unfit banknotes, unfit coins, old currencies, memorial currencies, drafts and checks, drastically reducing the time required for daily balancing at financial institutions.

Also, the newly designed currency transport mechanism has an improved self-balancing function, which includes an automatic balancing of new clean banknotes and loose coins recycling in the system. It also drastically reduces time and labor for verifying cash balances and minimizes miscalculation and fraud.

The new system has been ergonomically designed to accommodate all users.

We are confident, the "WAVE Pro", capable of minimizing teller operation time, can support the operation of branches with minimum staff.

We will continue to develop various products that meet the demands for improving efficiency and strictness of routine operations at financial institutions and customers.
