Hongzhou Smart presented its currency exchange machine solutions for evolving financial-service needs while engaging with financial institutions, technology partners, operators and potential customers from across the Americas.
Digital Finance Drives Demand for Smarter Self-Service Solutions
Digital transformation is reshaping how financial institutions deliver services, with digital banking, payments, identity and other technologies creating demand for more flexible and connected service models. FEBRABAN TECH 2026, organized by the Brazilian Federation of Banks, brought together leaders from finance, technology and other innovation-driven sectors under the theme “Intelligent Agents, Human Leadership”, reflecting the sector’s focus on technology, innovation and the changing financial-services landscape.
Against this backdrop, Hongzhou Smart participated with financial self-service solutions designed to connect physical service points with digital workflows. Its portfolio covers currency exchange machines, ATMs, bank account opening kiosks, Mobile Money ATMs and other self-service terminals. The company’s participation highlighted how customized kiosk technology can support financial institutions and operators as they adapt services to different markets and operating requirements.
Customized Hardware and Software Integration for Evolving Financial Services
At FEBRABAN TECH 2026, Hongzhou Smart demonstrated its financial-grade self-service terminals with an emphasis on integrated hardware and software customization. Its currency exchange machine solutions can support real-time exchange-rate connections and more than 15 currencies, while hardware, software functions and workflows can be adapted to project requirements.
The displayed terminals drew significant interest from financial institutions, technical experts, system integrators, and potential partners on site, which underscored a shifting focus—moving beyond standardized hardware toward software, business processes, and comprehensive system capabilities in custom self-service kiosk solutions.
As financial services undergo digitalization, self-service terminals have evolved from standalone devices into digital touchpoints within the financial service workflow. Given the variations in financial operations across different countries, the ability to customize both the hardware and software of financial self-service solutions is crucial. And Hongzhou Smart is prepared to meet this evolving demands.
In early August, prior to the exhibition, a delegation of approximately 20 representatives from a major Mexican bank visited Hongzhou Smart. They evaluated the company’s financial self-service terminals and manufacturing capabilities, focusing particularly on currency exchange technology and the integration of hardware and software. Following the visit, the two parties continued their in-depth discussions.
To date, Hongzhou Smart has deployed over 300 currency exchange kiosks in major airports and shopping centers across more than ten countries—including the United States, Hungary, Austria, France, Italy, Malaysia, Australia, etc.—serving millions of international travelers and local consumers annually.
FEBRABAN TECH Opens New Connections Across the Americas
The exhibition also extended into broader customer engagement across the Americas. Conversations at and around FEBRABAN TECH 2026 indicated growing interest in custom self-service kiosk solutions, with customers increasingly evaluating software integration, customized workflows, local market requirements and complete hardware-and-software solutions alongside the terminal itself.

Beyond São Paulo, Hongzhou Smart conducted meetings and visits with customers and potential partners in Mexico, Brazil, the United States and other markets in the Americas. The company said these interactions are helping it better understand regional requirements and identify opportunities for localized financial self-service applications.
