Its core strength lies in its cross-platform and cross-vendor compatibility, making it the software of choice for financial institutions looking to standardize their monitoring process, regardless of the ATM brands they deploy. This intelligent tool is a direct solution to the GFF track on Operational Resilience, ensuring financial services are future-proof and reliable for the end-user.
A magnet for industry leaders and large companies
The level of engagement at our stall was a testament to the market's hunger for reliable, inclusive, and next-generation ATM technology.
The 450+ prospects were not just curious individuals; they represented the pillars of the global financial sector. That includes senior leadership from major organisations, including top-tier private and public financial institutions.
The discussions focused on our creative approach to the new digital stack, particularly our proprietary, low-power technology, which allows for higher scalability. Their presence and feedback demonstrate Vortex's growing importance in determining the future of financial accessibility across the country and around the world.
