Cardtronics and the funds trade as an entire have targeted on upgrading current point-of-sale and ATM terminals for EMV, the chip card technology that allows safer transactions, and named for Europay, MasterCard and Visa. The major concerns for c-store owners are to resolve on how much revenue they anticipate from the ATM, and the way a lot time they want to spend, or have retailer workers spend, on managing the machine. Houston-based Cardtronics Inc. deploys and operates ATM terminals underneath two arrangements with its retail partners. The first is the turnkey arrangement, in which the company handles ATM placement and administration. Cardtronics is answerable for all aspects of the ATM’s operation, together with possession, transactions, money management, supplies and upkeep.
