 During the past few years, a tremendous growth in the number of ATMs installed in off-premise locations (i.e. non-FI premises) has occurred. This growth has been fueled through the direct actions of Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs), by the development of dial ATMs and through the ability to surcharge ATM withdrawals.
Community-based FI's have faced a number of issues relating to off-premise ATMs that have made their participation in this dynamic opportunity ambiguous.
We believe that the solution lies in the development of a program that gives the FI the ability to participate in the program, share in the revenue stream that surcharging conveys, yet allows the option of the institution to remain anonymous to the public and its depositors or provide additional locations for their customers to access cash surcharge free. With those needs foremost in our mind, SDS puts forth a solution designed to address the sensitive requirements of FI's, in a manner that is consistent with the comprehensive support SDS includes in all products and services we provide.
SDS' Off-Premise ATM Program Combines Ease of Deployment, Operational Simplicity, and Revenue for Financial Institutions (FI) and Merchants.
SDS' truly turnkey program is designed to simplify all aspects of off-premise ATMs:
- SDS manages ATM acquisition, communications, funds replenishment, maintenance, etc.
- "Single-Source" support throughout the process
Very simple billing FI/Merchant keeps the surcharge:
- Will provide source of revenue for the FI/Merchant
- Provides incentives for:
- Merchant to install FI-sponsored ATM
- Customers to purchase at Merchant after using ATM = increased sales revenue
- SDS will send the FI/Merchant a monthly check for surcharge revenue
