Diebold Nixdorf provides hardware, software, services, and security solutions for banking and retail self-service operations worldwide. Founded in 1859 by Charles Diebold - originally producing safes and bank vaults - the company has evolved into a global supplier of ATMs, electronic point-of-sale systems, self-checkout terminals, and self-ordering kiosks. It operates across more than 100 countries with approximately 21,000 employees.
On the technology side, the company's portfolio spans ATM architecture and software, biometric authentication including iris recognition, AI-powered retail solutions, managed services, and connected commerce platforms. Notable engineering milestones include the first stateless FIT Client ATM. Diebold Nixdorf describes itself as the global leader in ATMs installed worldwide and serves the majority of the top 100 financial institutions.
Its retail footprint is equally significant: the company powers over 1.3 million EPOS systems globally, holds the number-one position in retail EPOS and self-checkout in Europe, and ranks second in global self-ordering kiosks. Retail and banking clients benefit from end-to-end offerings that combine proprietary hardware, software, and services under a single provider.
