FIS and Payment Alliance International Bring Cardless Cash to Consumers at Retail Locations
Nationwide
Key Facts
- FIS and Payment Alliance International (PAI) have partnered to bring FIS Cardless Cash to thousands of ATMs nationwide,
reducing risk of card skimming in ATM transactions.
- Mobile banking users will be able to use FIS Cardless Cash on participating PAI ATMs in over 70,000 stores, gas stations,
restaurants and shopping malls across the United States.
- NYCE is the first national payment network to support FIS Cardless Cash as the ecosystem expands to more ATMs and
networks.
FIS Cardless Cash®, the market-leading mobile solution that avoids using a plastic card at the ATM to withdraw funds,
will expand across the United States thanks to a new partnership between FIS™ (NYSE:FIS), a global leader in financial services technology, and Payment Alliance International (PAI), the nation’s largest, privately-held provider of ATM processing and
maintenance services, ATM equipment sales and support.
The partnership connects FIS Cardless Cash with PAI and brings mobile access to ATMs located at many of the nation’s largest
retailers, gas stations, convenience stores and more. The deal will ultimately expand to 70,000 ATMs in the PAI ATM network.
“Our partnership with PAI extends FIS’ leadership to the largest Cardless Cash ecosystem, and will benefit both banks and their
customers,” said Anthony Jabbour, chief operating officer, Banking & Payments, FIS. “Our Cardless Cash product combines
innovation and efficiency with consumer convenience and security. For banks, it’s a new revenue source and this widespread network
should facilitate customer adoption.”
FIS Cardless Cash protects consumers by reducing risk of card skimming and shoulder surfing, both of which are on the rise at
ATMs, according to industry data. By leveraging FIS Mobile Banking with TouchID, customers securely access their funds and
authorize the amount they want without inserting a plastic card into an ATM. The mobile banking app acts as a remote control for
the ATM, providing unparalleled privacy and security for consumers. Customers using FIS Cardless Cash can complete their
withdrawals in 10 seconds and get an electronic receipt on their smartphone.
“Our clients are always looking for ways to improve their offerings, drive more revenue and surpass customers’ expectations,”
said John J. Leehy, III, president and chief executive officer of Payment Alliance International. “This partnership brings the
latest in transaction security to the PAI ATM network, while enhancing customer convenience and improving their overall ATM
experience.”
“Adding retail ATM locations to our Cardless Cash ecosystem brings the best in convenient access to customers,” said Douglas
Brown, SVP and GM of FIS Mobile. “We want to make mobile-centric access to cash a ubiquitous experience.”
This agreement makes NYCE the first national payment network to support mobile phone-to-ATM transactions. FIS Cardless Cash is an interoperable platform for banks, ATM operators and networks to provide consumers with
access to their money anywhere they want it. Launched in Jan. 2015, 34 banks are active on it, in multiple cities, and have
successfully processed millions of dollars in cardless ATM transactions since launch.
