HOUSTON–In an expansion of Alaska USA FCU’s relationship with Cardtronics, the credit union has joined the Allpoint Network, expanding surcharge-free ATM access by 55,000 retail ATMs worldwide.
Allpoint is a wholly owned subsidiary of Cardtronics, Inc., the world's largest retail ATM owner/operator. Alaska USA has partnered with Cardtronics since 2014.
The new Allpoint agreement marks the second time Alaska USA has looked to Cardtronics to provide its members with expanded off-site ATM access. Last year, the credit union established an ATM branding relationship with Cardtronics, enabling Alaska USA to brand approximately 200 Cardtronics-owned ATMs located in many Walgreens, Safeway and other stores in Washington, plus select retailers in Arizona, California and Oregon – giving its members significantly expanded surcharge-free ATM access in convenient retail locations.
In a separate agreement, Alaska USA has also contracted Cardtronics to manage offsite ATMs at 47 QFC stores in Washington and Oregon.
“The expansion of our relationship with Cardtronics is a testament to how valuable we have found its services to be in increasing our own brand recognition while ensuring that our cardholders have the most comprehensive ATM network – highlighted by surcharge-free access at their favorite retail locations,” said Alaska USA FCU Vice President, Electronic Services Joel Swanson.
