DALLAS — S2 Systems, Inc., a provider of transaction processing, authorization and integrated software, has rolled out its OpeN/2 platform at Coventry Building Society, the UK's fifth largest building society with assets of more than £9 billion (U.S. $16.8 billion) and nearly a million members, to drive pre-paid mobile phone top-ups across Coventry's ATM network.
S2 Systems and partner SPL (Systems People Limited) accomplished the achievement with Coventry Building Society utilizing NCR Personas ATMs with APTRA software.
Customers of participating mobile phone operators are able to top-up their pay-as-you-go mobile phones without charge at any Coventry Building Society CashLink machine or other machines displaying the top-up logo. OpeN/2 enables online payment authorization direct from the customer's account; the top-up is then credited to the phone within a few seconds.
Participating mobile phone operators currently include Vodafone, O2, T-Mobile, Orange, Virgin Mobile and Tesco Mobile.
"The recent launch of convenient ATM mobile top-up services marks another milestone for Coventry as we continue to develop and deliver exciting new services to our customers," said Giles Chipperfield, Coventry's chief information officer.
Coventry deployed OpeN/2 to drive 56 NCR ATMs to perform mobile top-up services, as well as standard ATM balance inquiries, mini-statements, cash withdrawals, PIN changes and deposits.
