Fujitsu started operations in Spain more than 40 years ago. In 1983 the company opened its first European factory in Málaga, beginning production of the first Fujitsu ATMs that were operated in conjunction with passbooks that were in widespread use by banking customers at that time.
Today Fujitsu has a 360º offering around ATMs that are exported all over Europe from its production facilities in Málaga, Spain. The company also manufactures its new FUJITSU ATM Series 100 for the European market, configured to the needs of different customers. From its European Centre of Excellence for Banking Technology in Barcelona, Fujitsu manages and remotely controls the ATM network. In addition, the company develops dedicated applications for different European clients in its Software Centres located in Madrid and Barcelona.
Fujitsu aims to transfer the commercial banking experience it has developed in Spain to other European markets. Fujitsu’s new ATMs offer a compact design paired with the latest technology advances, for improved user experience, greater efficiency and profitability for banking clients.
CaixaBank is considered an international benchmark when it comes to innovation and new technologies applied to banking services. At present, the bank has a network of over 9,000 cashpoints and 13 million cards in issue. In the last year alone, 7.5 million people a month used CaixaBank's cash machines. On a global scale, CaixaBank terminals carried out 560 million transactions a year.
