Paderborn, Germany, 2016-Apr-09 — /EPR Retail News/ — In the course of its plans to renew and modernize its branch network, Raiffeisenbank Straubing eG has chosen Wincor Nixdorf to create the concept. Implementation of the new concept began in Salching, where Wincor Nixdorf’s Branch & Store Modernization unit has converted the bank’s branch from a classic setup to a service and advice center with two consulting rooms and a completely open area for clients. The branch was reopened in February 2016.
In Salching, Wincor Nixdorf has created a bright and spacious branch without a back office as such. The branch functions have been adjusted to support a new strategic focus. Instead of a typical counter with staff on one side, there is a counter that clients can use from all sides. The very open concept and the white, partially illuminated interior furnishings turn this branch into a place that makes customers and staff alike feel good. The consulting rooms are also bright, and have opaque glass panes to ensure greater privacy. Another eye-catcher is an illuminated indoor stone wall in a rural style.
“The redesigned branch has gone down really well with our clients. The premises provide a very pleasant and communicative atmosphere,” said Rainer Haas, CEO of Raiffeisenbank Straubing eG. Alexander Beeck, Senior Interior Designer at Wincor Nixdorf, pointed out that the innovative branch concept supports the transformation of banking in an ideal manner. “Together with Raiffeisenbank Straubing, we have optimized the bank’s functions.”
Wincor Nixdorf’s Branch & Store Modernization unit offers scalable solutions for branch and store modernization, ranging from integration of new systems at existing branches/stores or at off-premise locations and extending to complete redesign of existing ones. As part of an overall concept, it supports banks – from consulting, analysis of needs and concept creation, to implementation of a turnkey branch, including supervision of construction work. It thus takes charge of all planning services and coordinates implementation with the necessary partners.
