RBS Lynk and ATM USA Introduce Internet
Processing for ATMs
Convenience Store Chains Benefit from High-Speed, Broadband Alternative
Atlanta, GA - July 27, 2005 - RBS Lynk, a leading payment
processor, and ATM USA, one of the nation's largest ATM distributors,
announced plans today to introduce Internet ATM transaction processing
services. RBS Lynk will manage the back-end transaction processing
and ATM USA will sell, distribute and service the end merchant.
The Internet Protocol (IP) solution will be targeted to convenience
stores in the United States. The RBS Lynk IP solution benefits
merchants with faster transactions and cost savings as they can
leverage
existing high-bandwidth Internet services to handle ATM transactions,
reducing their reliance on dedicated phone lines.
"
The IP solution provides incredibly fast ATM processing averaging
between three to five seconds," said Haze Lancaster, Partner
in ATM USA. "As a result, our convenience
store client Super Stop has taken all thirty of their instore ATMs
to DSL processing. In addition to improving processing time, they
removed a number of phone lines dramatically reducing their monthly
telecommunications cost."
The RBS Lynk IP solution, marketed by ATM USA, enables merchants
to choose between high-speed Internet with SSL security or private
IP connections through satellite or frame relay. To deploy the
service an Internet payment gateway is installed at the site of
the convenience store merchant's Internet connection. Several store
locations may be supported by a single payment gateway, depending
on transaction volume.
"
The ability to piggyback ATM transactions on existing Internet
connections can provide significant cost savings for convenience
stores," said
Melanie Chewning, RBS Lynk's Vice President of the ATM Division. "The
addition of Internet processing to our line of services further
expands our offerings in the ATM processing market. RBS Lynk has
the breadth of services that makes us the best choice for processing
solutions."
RBS Lynk provides customized solutions for petroleum and convenience
store clients. Options include telecommunications support (dial-up,
frame relay, VSAT, DSL and managed VPN), direct connectivity to
every nationwide card network (credit, debit, ATM and EBT) and
certified pay-at-thepump POS terminal solutions. In addition, RBS
Lynk offers innovative card management programs supporting third-party
fleet cards, gift cards and customer loyalty cards.
