Glory Global Solutions Helps First Tennessee Bank Target "Universal Teller" Model By Upgrading Cash Recycling

LISLE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

After a competitive procurement process, Glory Global Solutions Inc., the worldwide leader in comprehensive cash handling solutions, has been chosen to provide First Tennessee Bank, a subsidiary of First Horizon National Corp. FHN, with in-branch RBG-100 intelligent cash recycling systems.

As part of the relationship, Glory will provide over 100 of First Tennessee's growing network of 175-plus branches with the new RBG-100 cash recycling system, which will make accepting, authenticating and storing currency more efficient.

The partnership with Glory will improve staff resourcing, reduce idle cash and increase physical security across First Tennessee's branches, ultimately giving the bank's employees the time to provide an improved customer experience and a wider range of services to its 390,000 customers.

Tammy Locascio, Financial Center Delivery Manager for First Tennessee Bank, said of the announcement: “We are very pleased to announce Glory as our cash recycling provider. The implementation of their RBG-100 cash recycler has allowed us to respond to customer preferences and improve how we engage with our customers in our banking centers.

“The combination of Glory's RBG-100 systems and their end-to-end service has helped significantly reduce processing time for deposits and withdrawals across our branches. This gives our staff valuable time to concentrate on advising and engaging with our customers, and helps us maintain and expand our leading market share in the counties where we do business.”

Chris Reagan, President of Glory Global Solutions, said: “We are delighted to be working with First Tennessee, one of the oldest and most respected financial institutions in America. As with many other banks and credit unions, First Tennessee has been exploring ways to transform its branches into more lucrative retail venues and move towards the idea of the ‘universal teller'.

“Implementing the RBG-100 cash recycling system will act as an enabler for First Tennessee, allowing the bank to free up time and resources to build greater in-branch efficiencies, as well as improvements to security and customer service. All this will – in turn – drive customer loyalty and ultimately grow the bank's customer base.”
