Paymark, NZ ATM and ATM Plus launch convenience ATMs pilot program

Tuesday 15 April 2008 13:08 CET | News

New Zealand processor Paymark has partnered with NZ ATM and ATM Plus to launch a pilot phase of convenience ATMs. Paymark is working with ATM companies NZ ATM and ATM Plus to set up a number of trial sites in New Zealand locations. Paymark will target small communities, as well as retail outlets such as petrol stations and dairies where there are no ATMs nearby.

The first convenience ATMs in the pilot are now operational for customers from Westpac, BNZ and TSB. KiwiBank will also enter in the pilot program later. Convenience ATMs are independent of bank-owned machines, meaning the person using the ATM is charged with a nominal fee for each transaction. The convenience fee covers the cost of the electronic transaction, cash servicing, telecommunications, support and lease costs associated with the ATM machine. Each time the card and PIN is entered into the machine the convenience fee will be clearly stated and the customer will have the option whether to proceed with the transaction at that point.
