The wireless, seven-inch Android tablet with touch screen will be formally launched by the bank at its Innovation Lab in its Darling Harbour offices in Sydney on 31 March 2015, reported afr.com.
Powered by CBA’s Pi software platform, the device will facilitate payments as well as integrate with customers’ ERP (enterprise resource planning) systems to assist with stock management and other tasks.
The bank plans to lend Wincor Nixdorf’s support in selling the device internationally.
