ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan 27, 2026--

NCR Atleos Corporation (NYSE: NATL) (“Atleos”), a leader in expanding self-service financial access for financial institutions, retailers and consumers, today announced an advancement in the dual-sided ATM concept, leveraging company expertise and AI-assisted design, to optimize form factor, sustainability and efficiency.

NCR Atleos leveraged its expertise and AI‑assisted design to elevate the aesthetics of its dual‑sided ATM concept, introducing dynamic exterior lighting capable of displaying a range of colors.

Atleos has created a radically improved design, with the support of AI, that reduces footprint, shares critical components and enhances operational performance.

The result is a smarter, more sustainable concept featuring:

• Two functional ATM screens positioned on opposite sides of the device for simultaneous customer transactions
• Shared safes and PC core, reducing cost, weight and complexity compared to legacy dual-sided designs
• AI-assisted creation of form factor and lattice-style cladding for structural strength, durability and customizable aesthetics including light-emitted color on the exterior of the device
• 3D-printed components for reduced weight, manufacturing waste and rapid prototyping

“This is an energizing evolution,” said Sean Mallean, head of global innovation at Atleos. “We have reimagined the dual-sided ATM with the support of AI to deliver a smaller footprint, shared componentry and sustainable materials—creating a concept that aligns with modern banking needs.”

This approach demonstrates innovation with the support of AI by Atleos—focused on design evolution, without embedding AI into ATM software stacks, ensuring security and compliance remain uncompromised.

This Atleos dual-sided ATM remains in proof-of-concept phase and is not on the current research and development roadmap for commercialization.
