Triton Adopts New Prepaid Card Dispensing Technology From Better ATM Services®

MESA, Ariz., Nov. 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Better ATM Services® (www.betteratmservices.com), a technology innovator in the ATM industry, announced today a joint agreement with Triton to deliver a major new revenue stream for ATM networks.  Triton, a U.S.-based major provider of off-premise ATMs and ATM management software globally, will enable its ATMs with Better ATM Services®' patented technology which easily integrates with existing and new Triton ATM models allowing the secure and convenient sale of prepaid cards through ATMs.  With Better ATM Services®' groundbreaking technology, ATMs can dispense prepaid cards through offered cash trays using existing equipment with no expensive upgrades or add-on devices. 

Triton President Daryl Cornell says the new agreement is going to dramatically change the ATM industry, "This agreement represents a giant step forward in expanding income-generating opportunities for ATM owners.  The addition of prepaid card sales through our large base of ATM owners is a true game changer for the ATM industry. We are certain that ISOs (Independent Sales Organizations) will welcome these new business opportunities.  Consumers are demanding more value and convenience and that's exactly what enabled ATMs will give them."

Says Better ATM Services®' CEO Todd Nuttall, "Triton's wide acceptance and success in the retail ATM market is an ideal match. By offering enabled ATMs that are capable of dispensing all types of prepaid products, Triton is moving to the forefront of the ATM industry.  The united efforts of Triton and Better ATM Services® sets the stage for ISOs to enjoy revenues from a wide range of prepaid product sales including gift cards, transit passes, event ticketing, phone cards and more."

Industry research continues to predict sharp growth in all forms of prepaid products and services over the coming decade. Nuttall says, "Today, the only way to buy a prepaid card is in-store over-the-counter, online, or on a J-hook gift card rack at merchant locations.  For quite some time, these growing and emerging prepaid card products have been desperately in need of convenient, secure distribution channels and ATMs are the perfect solution.  They are, by definition, the most secure, self-service financial devices on the planet that consumers have come to trust and rely on." 

Better ATM Services® has developed a card form factor which functions within the existing cash dispensing mechanisms used in a majority of ATMs. Software, along with a relatively simple machine modification, enables the ATMs to dispense and activate prepaid cards while retaining the ability to issue cash as always. The technology also means one-stop shopping convenience for consumers.
