Saudi Arabia's Al Rajhi Bank is implementing Level Four Software's ATM testing technology to support the nationwide upgrade of its 1300 cash machines to EMV standards.
The vendor says its software will help the bank comply with regional and international regulatory mandates including EMV and Span 2, the second generation of the Saudi Payments Network which was established to support the implementation of electronic fund transfers.
The vendor says its ATM Developer product will enable the bank to create and edit EMV-compatible ATM configuration files, as well as provide card interrogation capability. The framework will also provide automated end-to-end transaction testing directly from the smart card, through the ATM and up to the host system.
Al Rajhi says Level Four's ATM Developer will be used to automate its ATM testing cycles, reducing its time-to-market for new functionality.
Hossam Saad, manager of IT development, Al Rajhi Bank, comments: "ATM Developer enables us to develop and test new ATM content from any desktop PC in the network. With all anomalies identified and corrected ahead of go-live, ATM Developer will help us introduce new content to our ATM network quickly, easily and cost effectively."
