Cashbox, a UK supplier of ATM cash machines, has teamed up with BT to integrate Wi-Fi (wireless) broadband Hotspot access into all of its new and existing ATM sites. The new five-year deal allows anybody close to one of their cash machines to access the Internet via Wi-Fi equipped computers and devices. Initially just 10 Cashbox ATM’s will be upgraded, although the group has 2,500 across the country.
The news is good for BT's 4.8 million broadband customers with inclusive Wi-Fi minutes, plus O2 iPhone users with access to more than 3,000 BT Openzone hotspots included in their contracts. Customers from iPass, Boingo and other BT Openzone roaming partners will also be able to use the service.
Ciaran Morton, CEO of Cashbox, commented:
"As a customer focussed business, we are continually looking for ways to extend our service offering, and with exciting initiatives such as this we are providing our customers with additional opportunities to utilise the ATM machines. May was an all time record month for transaction levels as people are finding cash preferable to credit in the current economic climate."
