From multifunctional ATMs to unmanned payment systems, Hyosung TNS is delivering a smarter daily experience tailored to changing consumer trends. Explore the future that Hyosung TNS is shaping in this rapidly evolving era. The Rapid Shift to a Cashless Society ▲The Emergence of a Cashless Society How much cash do you carry in your wallet? Many countries, including South Korea, are rapidly transitioning to a ‘cashless society’. This change is particularly evident in convenience stores, where cash payments were once common. These stores, known for frequent small transactions and a high number of under-age customers, traditionally relied heavily on cash. However, with the rise of card and mobile payments, the proportion of cash transactions has sharply declined. According to BGF Retail, card payments at CU convenience stores surpassed 80% for the first time in 2023, reaching 80.9%. The shift to a cashless society is driven by advancements in technology and innovations in the financial system. Thanks to the convenience and security of electronic payment methods like credit cards and mobile payments, people are increasingly moving away from cash. Cutting-edge financial services such as smart ATMs, digital wallets, and unmanned payment systems are reducing the need for cash and driving the digital economy forward. K-ATM: Hyosung TNS, Representing Korea Hyosung TNS, a comprehensive financial solutions company combining ATM hardware and software, is leading the digital transformation in the global financial sector with its cutting-edge technology. HYOSUNG pioneered the domestic production of 'cash recycling ATMs' by localizing the 'BRM (Bill Recycling Module)' technology, which allows for the recycling of deposited banknotes during withdrawal. The company has since introduced ATMs with a range of functions, including transportation card recharges, utility bill payments, and card issuance. In 2020, Hyosung TNS became the first in the industry to develop a video banking system, enabling real-time consultations and transactions. As such, Hyosung TNS has led the way in expanding ATM functionalities through continuous technological advancements, providing customers with increasingly convenient and efficient services. As the role of ATMs has expanded, so have security demands. Hyosung TNS’s ATMs offer various authentication methods, including ID cards, fingerprint scans, and vein recognition. To enhance security, HYOSUNG provides the BlueVerse™ Security suite, which not only prevents ATM hacking and hardware tampering but also protects the entire network from external web attacks. Hyosung TNS offers comprehensive services from ATM system installation and maintenance to cybersecurity, ensuring technology that prioritizes customer safety. With its unparalleled technology and customer-centric solutions, Hyosung TNS has solidified its position by becoming the market leader in ATM share in South Korea, the Americas, and Russia. Furthermore, the company is expanding its products and services into various global markets, including India, Portugal, and Poland, by identifying new demand in South Asia and replacing outdated equipment in Europe. Fast, Convenient, and Un-tact Retail Self-Service As contactless payments have become preferred due to the pandemic, un-tact solutions continue to attract attention for their convenience and efficiency even after the pandemic. Leveraging over 40 years of accumulated ATM technology and solutions, Hyosung TNS has developed and supplied a range of retail self-services, including kiosks and self-checkout systems, beyond just the financial sector. ▲ Hyosung TNS Retail Self-Service Kiosks, which are self-service terminals that allow users to access various services, help customers perform tasks easily through touchscreens. They are used in various contexts such as ordering and paying in restaurants, providing information at tourist sites, and issuing tickets at movie theaters. However, traditional kiosks may be challenging for people with disabilities or the elderly to use. To address this, Hyosung TNS has developed Barrier-Free Kiosks that support braille and voice guidance to ensure accessibility for everyone. In supermarkets, self-checkout systems enable faster transactions for small purchases. By allowing customers to check out without a cashier, these systems make unmanned store operations possible. Hyosung TNS's self-checkout systems support various payment methods including cash, cards, vouchers, and mobile payments, providing customers with flexible payment options. Since 2020, these self-checkout systems have been supplied to major domestic stores like Shinsegae, E-mart, and CJ Olive Young. Furthermore, in 2023, Hyosung TNS began expanding into the U.S. market, continuing its global expansion. Tailored Retail Solutions for Global Customers Hyosung TNS participated in the world’s largest retail trade show, ‘NRF 2024,’ held in New York City in January 2024. NRF is a premier event for discovering the latest retail trends, where companies from around the globe showcase new technologies and products. Hyosung TNS garnered significant attention with its unmanned checkout system, JetCheck™, which excels not only in hardware but also in software optimized for consumer needs. ▲ Hyosung TNS’s Unmanned Checkout System JetCheck™ JetCheck™ supports a wide range of payment methods and includes features like product weight measurement and membership point accumulation. It can also integrate with existing POS systems and allows for UI/UX customization. This flexibility and functionality have made JetCheck™ stand out in the industry. With a focus on the U.S. market, where cash transactions are prevalent, Hyosung TNS is actively promoting JetCheck™ and plans to expand its market share globally. In line with the latest trends, Hyosung TNS is also developing various technologies using AI. In collaboration with Shinsegae I&C, Hyosung TNS unveiled an AI Vision-based self-checkout solution. This solution uses small cameras to analyze footage, guide users based on their behavior and prevent missed scans and theft. Additionally, in June 2024, Hyosung TNS signed a business agreement with Shinhan Bank and LG CNS to establish an 'AI Branch,' focusing on joint development of generative AI models and the enhancement of unmanned banking services. This partnership aims to combine the technological expertise and know-how of each company to improve the efficiency of financial services and enhance user experience. Hyosung TNS is leading the way in making everyday life smarter and more efficient beyond just finance, with innovative technologies and customized solutions. As a Global Human Experience Maker, Hyosung TNS is committed to leading change in a rapidly evolving era and continues to strive for better user experiences.

This area is filled with wilted trees and piles of recyclable waste, guarded by the first villain, Dipo. Dipo is a villain who indiscriminately dumps trash without sorting it, constantly spewing garbage from his mouth and polluting the park. Our mission is to use the RE:GEN GUN's Recycle Mode to crush the park's pollutants and convert them into recyclable resources. By breaking down the trash piles and contaminated materials into smaller pieces and purifying the pollutants expelled by Dipo, we can restore vitality to the park. STAGE 2: Underwater Next, we go underwater, which has been severely polluted by plastics and waste. In this stage, you'll face two villains: Osion and Nebat. Osion, whose name means "ocean" in French, is a marine plastic villain who absorbs surrounding ocean plastics and then disposes them at double the amount, worsening the pollution. Nebat, named after the Russian word for "fishing net," absorbs discarded fishing nets and also disposes them at double the amount. To tackle these primary offenders and clean the polluted sea, you need to use the RE:GEN Upcycle Gun's absorption feature. Absorb the floating fishing nets and plastics in the ocean, purify the marine waste, and restore the contaminated sea. Defeat Osion and Nebat to restore the ocean to its former cleanliness. STAGE 3: City The third stage takes place in a desolate city filled with old buildings. In this stage, you'll face the villain Trinken, who deals with massive amounts of food waste. Named after the German word for "drink," Trinken continuously spits out food, filling the surroundings with waste. As time passes, Trinken’s rate of food waste expulsion increases, further polluting the city. To counter this, use the various functions of the RE:GEN GUN to purify the food waste expelled by Trinken. With your efforts, you can transform the desolate city back into a vibrant place. STAGE 4: Factory Now, you will head to a corroded factory that has been turned into ruins by chemicals. In this factory, you'll encounter Duter, a wastewater villain. Named as an abbreviation for "Dirty Water," Duter contaminates the environment by discharging industrial wastewater into the sea. In this situation, use the RE:GEN Save Gun to push away and remove the polluted wastewater spewed by Duter. By purifying the contaminants and stopping Duter, you can restore the factory to a clean state. STAGE 5: Road As you move to a desolate, desertified road where life is barely sustainable, you'll face the carbon villain Cera. Cera, whose name means "chemical" in Russian, has the ability to generate carbon footprints and obstruct paths. The pollutants emitted by Cera further desolate the road, making it increasingly bleak. In this stage, use the RE:GEN Zero Gun to convert the contaminated resources emitted by Cera into renewable resources. The conversion technology will help remove carbon and restore the environment. STAGE 6: Power Plant When you arrive at a power plant with interrupted electricity supply, you'll encounter the blackout villain Apagon. Apagon, which means "blackout" in Spanish, has the ability to surge the area's electricity usage, causing power outages. This results in the power plant operation failure and an energy shortage. In this stage, use the RE:GEN New Energy Gun to attack Apagon with renewable energy sources like solar and wind power. By doing so, you can stop Apagon and restart the power plant to provide clean energy. FINAL STAGE : Research Lab At last, you’ve reached the final stage. This is the research lab, the stronghold of the villains, where you will face the final boss, Final. Use all the items you’ve collected from previous stages and all the modes of the RE:GEN GUN to defeat Final and complete your mission of fully restoring Earth!
