With the application of big data, cloud computing, and multimedia ICT in the banking system, the traditional bank gradually changed from a "reinforced concrete" bank to a "future-proof" bank centered on the ICT technology. Meanwhile, Internet and commercial enterprises embarked on the financial industry with their advanced ICT technologies and considerable customer groups. Currently, the ICT technology plays a decisive role in the banking industry.
In the Beijing International Finance Expo in September 2011, Huawei innovatively rolled out the eSpace Virtual Teller Machine (VTM) remote bank solution. This solution uses the high-definition (HD) video, remote collaboration, service push, routing, and queuing technologies to provide remote teller services. VTMs provide customers with the services that were only available from counters at bank outlets in the past. Tellers seated at a service center remotely interact with customers face to face through HD video and service collaboration. This solution greatly enhances customer experience.
Multiple medium
Remote tellers can provide services for customers through multiple medium, including voice, video, and collaboration (such as information push and document sharing).
Multiple terminals
Customers can obtain remote teller services through multiple terminals, including VTM, PC, Ultrabook, tablet, mobile phone, and MediaQ.
Multiple channels
The eSpace VTM remote bank solution provides remote face-to-face services for customers through multiple channels, including bank branch, self-service terminal, online banking, and mobile banking.

Proactive marketing
Using the big data analysis results, remote tellers can proactively promote financial services and products as well as push product materials to target customers.
Real-time interaction
When helping customers process services, remote tellers can use auxiliary tools such as laser pen to illustrate service information and annotate important content.
Form filling assistance
Remote tellers can assist customers in filling out service application forms to deliver an excellent VIP service experience.
Onsite surveillance
When a remote teller is processing a service for a customer, a supervisor can monitor the service process in real time. When the customer is not satisfied with the teller, the supervisor can immediately take over or stop the service.
Service tracking
During service processing, audio, video, and service operations can be recorded simultaneously as the transaction evidence for tracing in the future.
Service recurrence
To perform post-event inspections on teller services, query service records using customer ID, teller ID, VTM ID, service processing time, service processing location, and service type, and then play back recording files.
System security
All core components on the VTC platform work in active/standby or load balancing mode to ensure system stability. When the active node of a component is faulty, the standby node automatically takes over the services.
Service security
Video call and service data are both encrypted before transmission to protect customer privacy and fortify service security.
Open interface
The VTC platform supports access from VTMs provided by multiple vendors and Windows, Android, and iOS terminals. The VTC platform provides the standard software development kit (SDK) for partners, allowing them to perform service development.
Easy integration
The VTC platform provides unified interfaces for simplified service software development and integration as well as the SDK for fast service development, integration, and rollout.
Expert assistance
When interacting with customers, remote tellers can invite third-party experts to join calls or directly transfer calls to third-party experts that can provide the services desired by customers.

The VTM remote bank can be deployed within a much shorter period than the traditional bank outlet. The VTM remote bank has fewer requirements on the deployment environment and therefore can be easily expanded to airports, hotels, campuses, and schools. A VTM can provide most counter services, including card issuing, U-Key delivery, financial management, IC card payment, third-party depository, check service, service subscription, and service change.
Fast Deployment
Services with standard processes are migrated from traditional counters to VTMs so that banks can invest more workforce into high value-added services, for example, product marketing.
Workload Migration
Customers in communities, large-size industrial parks, airports, and suburbs can enjoy face-to-face services offered by remote tellers at the service center that is located far away. As long as customers have terminals (such as PCs, smart TVs, mobile phones, and tablets), banking services are available to them.
Face-to-Face Service
When facing difficulties in processing services, such as product analysis, remote tellers can request help from financial management experts for professional consulting. To facilitate this, financial management experts are seated at headquarters to remotely provide services for all outlets. This greatly improves the value of the financial management experts.
Expert Resource Sharing
Service Risk Reduction
The eSpace VTM remote bank solution provides services with standard processes through VTMs and allocates service requests from VTMs to appropriate tellers in a centralized manner. These approaches standardize service processes and reduce manual misoperations to improve customer satisfaction.
