Transguard Group, a leading UAE business support and outsourcing provider, is now a certified Diebold Nixdorf solutions service provider across the UAE.

As financial and retail markets converge and expand, the synergies created by the partnership will successfully respond to consumer demand for convenient, secure and seamless transaction experiences.

"Our partnership with Diebold Nixdorf further accelerates our mission to deliver total business support solutions and to enable our customers to focus on their core business," said Dr. Abdulla Al Hashimi, Chief Executive Officer, Transguard Group.

"Together, we will be able to provide our customers with optimum convenience for their networks, ensure availability and enhance efficiency with a single point of contact from cash-in-transit (CIT) and maintenance services, to managed services. We are confident that the feedback from our customers will be very positive," he added.
