Firstmark Credit Union Expands Member Convenience, Brands Cardtronics' ATMs in Three San Antonio-Area Costco Warehouses
July 14 2010 - 9:00AM
Firstmark Credit Union, a credit union serving members in the San
Antonio, Texas area, and Cardtronics, Inc. (Nasdaq:CATM) announced
today an agreement to place the Firstmark brand on three
Cardtronics-owned and operated ATMs in Costco warehouses located in
the San Antonio area. The Firstmark Credit Union brand will be
prominently displayed on the exteriors of the ATMs, the ATM screens
will carry Firstmark's customized messages and the branded ATMs
will be available surcharge-free to Firstmark members.
In addition to expanding its ATM footprint through branding,
Firstmark extended its existing relationship with Allpoint,
Cardtronics' nationwide surcharge-free ATM network, for an
additional three years. Through Allpoint, Firstmark is able to
provide its members with surcharge-free cash access at over 37,000
ATMs.
"Firstmark Credit Union has been a valued customer of Allpoint
for several years," stated Brian Archer, Chief Marketing Officer
for Cardtronics. "It was a natural progression for Firstmark to
further enhance ATM availability by expanding its footprint with
Cardtronics' ATM branding program. With the branding program,
Firstmark enjoys all the benefits of deploying its own ATMs, such
as improved brand awareness and custom marketing messages, without
the operational challenges or capital requirements such deployments
normally entail."
"Firstmark is excited to provide increased flexibility and
accessibility to meet the cash needs of our members by making
Firstmark-branded ATMs available in all three San Antonio-area
Costco warehouses," said Fred Hagerman, Firstmark Credit Union
Chief Marketing Officer. "The Cardtronics ATM branding program has
allowed Firstmark to extend its reach into a great retail
environment quickly and cost effectively while enhancing service
for our members. We are also excited to extend our membership in
the Allpoint Network, providing our members with many thousands of
places to access cash without paying a convenience fee."
