AmSouth Implements Tellermate's Cash Handling System, Increasing Productivity And Mitigating Risks ATLANTA, March 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Tellermate, the world's leading provider of cash handling systems, today announced that AmSouth Bancorporation has implemented Tellermate's solution in high volume cash branches to increase teller accuracy and efficiency, while improving security and customer service. AmSouth is a leader among regional banks in the southeast, and operates more than 600 branches in Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Georgia. AmSouth was looking for a way to improve efficiencies at the branch level, specifically in the areas of large commercial deposits and handling cash. AmSouth wanted to remove thelarge, labor-intensive commercial deposits from the teller window -- in order to reduce risk and customer wait times. Tellermate's solution provides AmSouth with an extremely accurate way of counting large amounts of cash (both coins and bills on the same platform) in a timely manner. AmSouth chose Tellermate's cash handling system because of Tellermate's proven ability to increase teller efficiency and ensure ease of integration to the branch's PC teller application, coupled with the systems' portability and ease of use across several teller applications. "AmSouth looks to alliance partners to help us solve business problems, advance performance and provide us with best practices insight," said D. Kim Jenny, senior vice president, Branch Performance Management at AmSouth. "Tellermate is more than a supplier to AmSouth. The product obviously works because our branch personnel keep asking for more. Beyond that, their expertise and understanding of key cash management issues has been a great value and added bonus to our organization as we evaluate and address our cash processing issues." AmSouth also installed Tellermate's TellerComK on-line interface system, which transmits data from the cash count directly to the branch's PC teller application. TellerComK eliminates manual input as an automatic by-product of completing the cash count, which saves additional time and improves accuracy.
