Overview
What it is and where it fits.
The Mini-Bank 1500, also sold as the NH-1500, was one of Nautilus Hyosung’s early retail ATMs. In 2009 Hyosung’s site described it as “the most reliable and most cost effective ATM available in retail ATMs,” with a small footprint and ADA and PIN-security enhancements, and said it was installed in many countries.
By today’s standards it is basic: Hyosung’s manual lists a 6-inch, 320 × 240 display (monochrome, with color as an option), a standard 1,200-note dispenser, a mechanical combination lock on a UL 291 business-hours safe and a dial-up phone connection rather than a network link.
ATM dealers list the NH-1500 among obsolete models that lack modern compliance features. If you still have one, it is almost always time to replace it.

Questions
About the Hyosung 1500.

Very unlikely on today’s networks. Dealers list it among obsolete models that lack current compliance features, and it relies on a dial-up connection. We recommend replacing it.

A current compact model such as the Halo II is the usual replacement. If you’d rather not buy, apply for free placement and BayTM will supply, install, load and service a machine at no cost to your business.
