Fiserv has teamed up with NCR Atleos Corporation to
enable consumers to pay utility, phone, cable, and other bills in cash at
thousands of ATMs located in US retailers, grocery stores, convenience stores,
and pharmacies.
According to the press release, the global payments
and financial technology solutions provider will extend its CheckFreePay
network to include the ATM network of Atleos. The duo aims to cater to consumers
who prefer cash transactions for convenience and accessibility.
Initially available at thousands of Atleos ATMs
already accepting cash, the bill payment service is expected to grow as more
cash-in ATMs are deployed across the United States. This expansion broadens the
access to bill payment facilities by consumers and enhances operational
efficiency for merchants.
Brian Seemann, the Senior Vice President of Biller
Solutions at Fiserv, mentioned: “Many consumers prefer to pay bills in
person in cash, and CheckFreePay helps them streamline financial tasks with
multiple ways to pay in places they visit every day.”
“Adding
a self-service bill payment option at thousands of Atleos ATM locations will
expand consumer access to these capabilities while enhancing efficiency and
increasing foot traffic for merchants.”
