What is a Teller Cash Recycler?
A teller cash recycler is a branch cash automation system that accepts, validates, stores, and dispenses currency for future transactions. By keeping cash within a controlled workflow, TCRs can reduce manual counting, improve balancing accuracy, strengthen accountability, and give tellers more time to serve customers.
A successful TCR program depends on more than the machine. CSG supports the full lifecycle, from selecting the right equipment and planning branch workflows through installation, integration, training, preventive maintenance, remote management, and ongoing service.

Common TCR Problems and How We Help You Avoid Them
Too much time spent auditing cash
Manual counting and reconciliation can take your team away from serving customers. We help you compare your current audit workflow with the automated audit functions available on the proposed TCR configuration. Our process mapping and ROI studies help you evaluate potential time savings alongside your institution's cash-control procedures.
Cash capacity that does not match your branch
A recycler that does not hold the cash your branch needs can create avoidable replenishment interruptions. We help you evaluate capacity, denomination mix and single-, dual- or self-service configurations against your transaction demand and teller layout, so you can choose equipment around the way your branch operates.
Equipment that does not fit your teller workflow
The right hardware still needs to work with your teller application and daily procedures. We help you evaluate integration options and the selected equipment together before a fleet rollout. That gives you a clearer view of how staff will enter transactions, balance cash and use the machine in the branch.
Recurring faults and a reactive support plan
Keeping your TCR fleet supported takes more than replacing equipment when it fails. Our RemoteView services provide remote diagnostics, application control, patch management and reporting for supported configurations. If an issue needs an onsite technician, diagnostic information supports the repair. We help you connect equipment selection with ongoing support and replacement planning.

Your TCR investment includes more than the machine. We help you look at equipment, integration and ongoing service together. The cost areas below give you a practical way to compare the full scope of a deployment.
Equipment and configuration
Your branch volume, cash-storage needs, user configuration and optional features affect the equipment you need. We help you evaluate those requirements through process mapping before you select a configuration.
Software and integration
Your teller application and selected hardware determine the integration options to review. When we discuss your project, include middleware, application connections, configuration and recurring software charges so those costs are considered alongside the equipment.
Delivery, installation and training
Your deployment plan should account for freight, rigging, placement, site preparation, setup and staff training. Bring your branch requirements to our team so the project discussion can identify what needs to happen before installation and which responsibilities belong to your facilities or IT staff.
Maintenance and ongoing support
Your service requirements belong in the buying decision. Review preventive maintenance, parts and labor coverage, remote support and software maintenance with us, including service availability and agreement terms for each branch.
Downtime and replacement planning
A lower purchase price can be offset by service interruptions or limited parts availability. We help you consider the equipment's support lifecycle and replacement options alongside the upfront cost, so you can plan beyond installation.
Share your branch count, existing TCR models, teller application, cash volumes and current service arrangements with us. We can use that information to evaluate equipment and support options and discuss an ROI study for your institution.
