MS 500 is the new Teller Cash Recycler, which can be used as a deposit and recycler by tellers at the branch, or as a bulk cash deposit machine by customers.
Besides, it supports a large volume of cash deposits, with a note speed of up to 12 notes per second and a continuous deposit feeding, allowing for even faster processing of deposits and note validation.
