What ATEC America does

ATEC America is a US-facing subsidiary of a Korean-founded cash automation company established in 1989, specializing in hardware and software solutions that automate the handling, recycling, counting, and security of physical currency. The company's product portfolio spans Advanced Teller Cash Recyclers (LTA-380 desk-height and LTA-450 counter-height units with up to 22,000-note capacity and 12-notes-per-second processing), Smart ATMs (C3L, LC71), the E3 Enterprise Cash Manager that combines cash and coin recycling in a UL 291 24-hour safe, the compact LTA-100 retail cash recycler, the ASYS AL-Series currency counter/sorter with image-processing sensors, and the ezCAMS software platform for fleet-wide dashboard monitoring and settlement. Underlying technology includes serial number tracking for dispensed bills, unattended self-audit, flexible cassette configurations supporting up to 10 logical cassettes and multiple currencies, and machine-learning-based note validation embedded in ATM products.

ATEC America monetizes primarily through direct enterprise hardware sales of cash automation equipment to financial institutions (banks, credit unions), retail operators (chain stores, convenience stores, grocery stores, specialty stores), and gaming establishments, supplemented by the ezCAMS software platform and recurring revenue potential from cleaning product accessories supplied through a KICTeam partnership. The company serves a globally installed base of 66,000+ ATMs and TCRs across 15 countries, with go-to-market executed through an enterprise field sales motion (consultation booking, contact forms), channel partners such as Financial Equipment Company of Oklahoma, and website-driven self-education resources. Notable named enterprise wins include Choctaw Travel Plazas (committed to E3 deployment across 70%+ of 21 convenience locations by end of 2026 with reported 8-hour daily labor savings per location), Currency Exchange International, and an unnamed major supermarket chain. TCR products are FIS-certified, enabling deployment within the FIS banking software ecosystem.
