Allpoint Network and Visa Partner on Convenient Cash Access for Southeast Asian Cardholders Traveling to the United StatesHOUSTON, May 29, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Visa and Allpoint Network have partnered to make it easier for travelers visiting the United States from Southeast Asia to access their money without paying ATM fees. Under terms of the agreement, enrolled cardholders traveling with Visa travel prepaid cards and debit cards from select financial institutions will enjoy surcharge-free transactions at over 40,000 Allpoint ATMs throughout the United States. Visa travel prepaid cards and debit cards issued by 76 financial institutions in India, Bangladesh and Singapore are included in the agreement. Prepaid and debit cards are a secure, convenient way not only to pay for goods and services when traveling abroad, but also for accessing cash. For many travelers, securing local currency is best done at their destination, and Allpoint, the world’s largest surcharge-free ATM network, provides a wide range of cash access points in premium retail locations. “When people travel overseas, they want to be able to access their money securely, conveniently and without paying a lot of fees,” said Rob Walls, Head of Consumer Products and Digital Solutions, Asia Pacific, Visa. “This new agreement between Allpoint and the participating banks in Southeast Asia gives cardholders more choice for using their Visa prepaid or debit cards when they travel.” For participating Visa card issuers, gaining access to the Allpoint Network is a quick and efficient way of providing ATM access that delivers strong cardholder value and customer engagement. For travelers, being able to access their cash without surcharges makes it more convenient and cost-effective to visit an ATM multiple times during their trip instead of carrying large amounts of cash. “By partnering with Cardtronics, Visa and its issuers are improving peace of mind and convenience for their traveling cardholders with surcharge-free cash available virtually anywhere they may travel across the United States,” said Brian Bailey, EVP and Managing Director, North America. “Cardronics continues to extend the value of its Allpoint surcharge-free ATM network into new customer segments, enabling more and more consumers to benefit while driving traffic for our retail partners and improving service delivery for participating financial institutions.” Prior to traveling to the U.S., individuals holding Visa prepaid or debit cards should check with their card issuer to make sure they have access to Allpoint Network. When in the U.S., they can find Allpoint ATM locations by downloading the Allpoint mobile app or going online to the Allpoint locator. About Cardtronics (Nasdaq: CATM) About Visa Inc.
