Ukash's partnership with Bank Machine will provide consumers with easier access to online funds.
Online cash payments provider, Ukash has teamed up with ATM operator Bank Machine to offer its customers the option to make cardless cash withdrawals. Consumers can enter Ukash codes into more than 2,500 Bank Machine ATMs to give them an easy way to access online funds from sources such as gaming or competition winnings, refunds or ‘change’ from Ukash vouchers.
David Hunter, CEO of Ukash claims that the move not only gives customers more flexibility with their Ukash, but also increases the appeal for e-commerce retailers to add Ukash to their payment options. He commented:
“The partnership between Ukash and Bank Machine, the longest-established independent ATM operator in the UK, will make Bank Machine the first non-bank operator to offer cardless cash withdrawals at ATMs.”
Stephen Hart, Business Development Manager at Bank Machine added: “At Bank Machine, our constant focus is on increasing consumer access to cash through our ATMs. The partnership between Ukash and Bank Machine certainly achieves that, and this innovation clearly demonstrates that ATMs can provide services that complement those offered on the internet. We look forward to offering this service to customers on more than 2,500 Bank Machine ATMs across the UK.”
