Timothy Oliver on public safety
From Tech Talks Business Features Tim Oliver, CEO of NCR Atleos · · Georgia Tech Scheller College of Business
“We want people to be safe when they use cash and ATMs. If you rob a machine at a bank, it's a federal crime with serious consequences, but robbing a machine at a convenience store is often just a local crime with less enforcement. We are asking the government to step up protections as more cash transactions happen outside bank branches.”

About Timothy Oliver
Tim Oliver, CEO of NCR Atleos, discussed the company's operations and strategy in a March 2025 interview. He stated that NCR Atleos manages approximately 600,000 ATMs globally, serving banks, neo banks, and retailers. Oliver described an anticipated "bank outsourcing wave," arguing that banks are moving toward concierge-style branches and prefer to outsource cash management. He identified the company's biggest opportunity as convincing banks to outsource their entire ATM fleet management, claiming NCR Atleos can guarantee better uptime and cost efficiency. Oliver also addressed technology trends, saying that AI at ATMs will include avatars that interface with customers and that humans can step in when needed. He noted that NCR Atleos acquired a crypto company to enable Bitcoin transactions at its machines, but described cryptocurrency as "mostly a speculative investment vehicle" and expressed belief that a US-based central bank digital currency is "inevitable." On safety, Oliver stated that as more cash transactions occur outside bank branches, the company is asking the government to increase protections for machines in non-bank locations.
