Heritage

Decades of financial-automation know-how.

Financial Operations is built on ATEC's financial-automation heritage. What began in 1989, and was established as ATEC in 1993, grew into a global cash-automation specialist — from Korea's first cash dispenser to teller cash recyclers deployed at U.S. banks — and that legacy underpins how we design, deliver, and service every solution today.
