Citi offers Asians smart biometric banking ATM

Citi has introduced a next-generation biometric-based banking machine – Citibank Express – that allows customers to do almost all of their banking without visiting a branch, including opening accounts and applying for loans, cards and cashier's checks.

Citibank Express is equipped with an online banking connection, video-conferencing and biometric capabilities for customer identity authentication. A customer can start a transaction on a computer or mobile device and complete it on Citibank Express-and vice versa.

The first Citibank Express machines were unveiled this week in Citibank branches in Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines. The company plans to add in-branch and out-of-branch locations across Asia and globally later this year.
