Difference Between New, As New, and Refurbished ATMs

In the ATM and Cashless equipment market, choosing the right type of ATM plays a crucial role in purchase cost, operational quality, and long-term maintenance expenses.

At LutBank, ATMs and Cashless devices are offered in three main categories according to specific standards: New, As New, and Refurbished. Below, we clearly examine the differences between these devices and the technical processes of each type.

As New ATMs at LutBank

As New ATMs at LutBank are produced and prepared according to standards that ensure they closely resemble brand-new ATMs in appearance, functionality, and performance.

Technical and Visual Features of As New ATMs:

• Completely new casing with original factory paint (no repainting or body repairs)
• Original German-made casings without any scratches or defects
• ATM chassis and computer are completely new and original Wincor components
• No repairs are performed on main ATM components
• Use of higher-quality modules that have shorter previous usage (instead of worn-out parts)

Consumable Parts in As New ATMs

In LutBank’s As New ATMs, all consumable parts are replaced and brand new, including:

• Belts

Replacing all consumable parts in As New ATMs ensures:

• Significant reduction in future maintenance and support costs
• More stable and precise ATM performance
• Longer useful life of the ATM

Therefore, As New ATMs are an ideal option for customers who value high quality, longer lifespan, and lower long-term costs.
