At the end of the 1990s, the demise of the branch was forecast and the days of teller assist units (TAUs) were thought to be numbered. However, both have now become key components of banks' retail strategies.
A new study by RBR has found that the number of TAUs worldwide has increased by more than 50%, from 95,000 in 2001 to 145,000 by the end of 2008. The market is expected to continue expanding rapidly to reach 240,000 by 2013. This accelleration in the uptake of TAUs mirrors the renewed focus on converting to open-plan branches.
This study, which is based on an extensive survey of 218 banks in 25 key markets worldwide conducted between October and December 2008, examines the current deployment levels and assesses how the market is likely to evolve over the next five years.
