Star Systems(R) (STAR(R)), a First Data Company, today announced that it has renewed its agreement with Cardtronics, an owner/operator of over 12,000 ATMs.
Under the terms of the long-term agreement, the STAR Network will continue to provide PIN-secured debit access at Cardtronics' ATMs.
"We're pleased with the expanded ATM access that our continuing relationship with Cardtronics provides to consumers," said Ronald V. Congemi, president, Star Systems/Debit Services. "By choosing to renew on a long-term basis with STAR, Cardtronics has also underscored the benefits that we bring to ATM deployers."
In 2003, the STAR Network served 1.26 million retail and ATM locations nationwide. In February 2004, STAR became part of the First Data family of companies. Congemi added, "As part of First Data we're looking forward to using our combined resources to deliver even more valuable services to our financial institution participants."
