South-East Asian FECs have their own specially developed bill acceptor in the CBA9 from Innovative Technology Ltd (ITL). The unit will simplify cash handling for manufacturers exporting throughout the region.

The banknote validator that is already dominating the vending industry in China is now available in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam, following consumer demand and market testing.
ITL business development manager for South-East Asia, Kravitz Liew, based in Malaysia, said: “The CBA9 is cost-effective, has two- to three-seconds transaction time and has advanced note-to-note processing capabilities. It has enhanced sensing technology and a high acceptance rate for the currencies of the region.
“Due to the product’s modular design, the CBA9 can be upgraded to add a note recycler to suit customer needs. It is particularly suited to the vending and amusement sectors where it offers exceptional field reliability.”
