CardFree Cash helps financial institutions and ATM owners meet
consumer demand for convenient, secure access to funds
-
The patent-pending CardFree Cash solution positions Accel® debit
payments network to deliver network-based, card-free transactions at
an ATM
BROOKFIELD, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Fiserv,
Inc. (NASDAQ: FISV), a leading global provider of financial services
technology solutions, announced today that it has completed a successful
pilot with Jacksonville, Fla.-based VyStar Credit Union to offer
card-free access to cash at participating ATMs with CardFree Cash from
Fiserv.
"Member convenience is a key component of our overall payments
strategy," said Melissa Thomas, vice president, Electronic Payments and
Card Services, VyStar Credit Union, which has $5.6 billion in assets.
"With CardFree Cash, our members can securely access funds from an ATM
immediately without their debit card regardless of the reason they don't
have it with them."
If a member's debit card is lost, stolen, breached, or simply left at
home, they can still withdraw cash by using a secure access code and PIN
at a participating ATM. For added security, VyStar Credit Union can set
withdrawal limits, number of transactions allowed and length of time the
access code can be used by each member.
"Today's consumers have come to expect immediate, easy and secure access
to their money," said Vincent Brennan, president, Card Services, Fiserv.
"Card replacement can take time, and wire transfers can be expensive.
Instant access to funds without a card helps financial institutions
improve service and security."
Card-free cash withdrawals in the pilot are performed at acquiring
partner Payment Alliance International's (PAI) participating ATMs and
completed over the Accel debit payments network.
"ATMs aren't just for card-carrying consumers anymore," said John J.
Leehy, III, president and chief executive officer of PAI. "PAI is
thrilled to partner with a debit payments industry leader like Fiserv to
deliver a unique solution that leverages the Accel network of ATMs,
where consumers can obtain cash at convenient, secure and card-free
access points across the United States."
