Based in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, SBC is deploying 17 Opteva terminals -- a combination of stand-alone, lobby units and through-the-wall ATMs -- at its headquarters, branches and convenience stores for cash withdrawals. The machines will be upgraded in the future to incorporate other features and functionality.

EMV, a joint venture between Europay, MasterCard and Visa, produced specifications to support interoperability between integrated chip cards and various types of payment system terminals (ATMs, point-of-sale terminals, etc.). Smart cards allow for a new dimension in card security. EMV is now recognized as the worldwide reference standard for smart card technology in the financial environment, as it allows for the interoperability of smart cards among different networks and countries.

The SBC terminals run on Agilis software, Diebold's open architecture, cross-vendor platform that enables the management of terminals from various manufacturers. ATMs within SBC's network employ Diebold's OptiEye surveillance cameras. Designed specifically for Opteva terminals, OptiEye cameras and lenses are installed inside the ATM and provide an exceptional field of view using digital signal processing to enhance overall security during customer transactions.
