Wincor

Wincor refers to a German technology company known for its banking and retail IT solutions, including automated teller machines (ATMs), cash handling systems, point-of-sale terminals, and related software and services. The name is most closely associated with Wincor Nixdorf, a company formed through a merger of Wincor and Nixdorf Computer AG.

In 2002, Wincor merged with Nixdorf Computer AG to form Wincor Nixdorf AG, creating a global provider of hardware, software, and services for financial institutions and retailers. The company expanded its product portfolio to cover end-to-end solutions for banking and retail operations, with a presence in multiple regions around the world.

In 2016, Diebold Incorporated, a U.S.-based supplier of banking technology, completed its acquisition of Wincor Nixdorf, resulting in the formation of Diebold Nixdorf. The combined company integrated Wincor Nixdorf’s banking and retail solutions with Diebold’s offerings and markets. Following the merger, the Wincor Nixdorf brand was gradually absorbed into Diebold Nixdorf, with continued support for legacy products and a continued emphasis on a unified product portfolio and global service network.

Wincor’s historical significance lies in its role as a major supplier of ATM hardware, cash handling systems, and integrated banking and retail IT solutions, contributing to the modernization of financial- and retail-services infrastructure in Europe and beyond. The brand is now largely referenced as part of Diebold Nixdorf’s corporate lineage.
