US tech firm opens in Myanmar
Diebold Nixdorf, a leading US tech firm with a presence in more than 130 countries, announced the opening of its office in Myanmar’s commercial hub. Neil Emerson, the firm’s senior vice president and managing director for Asia Pacific, said that its customers’ positive feedback and satisfaction drove them to establish an on-the-ground presence in Myanmar. Previously, the firm had been operating in Myanmar through third-party business partners, supporting local banks with their self-service technology needs for many years. “Our intention is to work with the Myanmar community and become a trusted partner. That is really important to us,” he said. “Our local office will enable us to build a closer relationship with our customers and serve them better. We continue to drive innovation in both banking and retail technology and services to meet Myanmar’s unique market requirements … Myanmar banks really aim to expand to support their customers. We are willing to support them by having our presence here.”
