Printec at ZBK Conference 2026 in Bratislava: The future of self-service is now

That was the central message of the ZBK Conference 2026, organized by Združenie pre bankové karty and held on February 26 at the Crowne Plaza Bratislava. Bringing together more than 80 industry professionals and 8 expert presentations, the conference focused on one defining theme: “The Future of Self-Service in the World of Digital Payments.”

For Printec Group, this was not just a topic of discussio,  it was something we brought to life.

From the moment participants arrived at the foyer, they stepped directly into the future of self-service.

At our exhibition booth, alongside other event sponsors, we showcased solutions that demonstrate how physical devices and digital payments are merging into seamless, intelligent ecosystems.

Visitors experienced firsthand:

• NCR SelfServ 81 — a multi-function Interactive Teller ATM redefining what modern ATMs can deliver.
• X Visio Info Kiosk — transforming communication into interactive digital engagement.
• EloTouch 22 Ordering Kiosk — enabling fast, intuitive self-ordering with integrated payment.
• Coffee Self-Service Kiosk — where attendees didn’t just see innovation — they tasted it. While enjoying a freshly brewed cup of coffee, participants experienced how unattended retail and integrated payment systems create smooth, autonomous customer journeys.

These were not static displays. They were working ecosystems. Real transactions. Real interaction. Real conversations.

The strong interest and engaging discussions throughout the morning confirmed one thing: organizations are actively seeking practical, scalable self-service solutions today — not someday.

From Kiosks to ATMs: A Converging Future

The inspiration continued on stage.

During his presentation, “From Kiosks to ATMs: The Future of Self-Service in Digital Payments,” Ivan Moderdovsky, General Manager CE at Printec Group, explored how traditional boundaries between kiosks and ATMs are disappearing.

Self-service devices are evolving into:

• Interactive financial hubs
• Omnichannel customer touchpoints
• Intelligent platforms connected to the broader digital ecosystem

To enrich the discussion, Ivan welcomed Michail Kyriakidis from NCR Corporation to join him on stage, highlighting the importance of collaboration in shaping the next generation of banking and payment solutions.

The message was clear: the transformation is not coming, it is already underway.

Events like ZBK 2026 prove that while payments are becoming increasingly digital, human connection remains essential.

Participants valued the opportunity to:

• Physically interact with devices
• Ask in-depth technical questions
• Exchange insights directly with experts
• Experience innovation beyond slides and theory

The growing popularity of these interactive conferences reflects a broader shift in the market: decision-makers want to see, touch, and test the future before implementing it.

ZBK Conference 2026 reaffirmed our belief that self-service is not just about machines. It is about enabling smarter journeys, stronger engagement, and seamless digital experiences today.

At Printec, we are proud to contribute to this transformation and to collaborate with partners and customers who share the same forward-looking vision.
