Allpoint Network® Expands with APTUS Financial
 

Largest Surcharge-Free Network Adds Over 1,000 ATMs


February 22, 2011

BETHESDA, MD - (February 22, 2011) Allpoint Network, a Cardtronics, Inc. affiliate (NASDAQ: CATM) and the operator of the largest surcharge-free ATM network, has entered into a long-term agreement with APTUS Financial, an independent ATM operator headquartered in Portland, Oregon, to enable surcharge-free access at over 1,000 ATMs across more than 20 states to the Allpoint's 1,100 plus member issuers and their more than 25 million cardholders.

"Continuing to increase the scale and density of surcharge-free access provides our member banks and credit unions with a strong convenience message to their cardholders and allows our member prepaid issuers to compete more effectively for new business," said Ben Psillas, President of Allpoint.

"The ability of Allpoint to drive traffic to ATMs and the retail locations where they are placed is well proven," stated Rick Holt, President of APTUS Financial. "Allpoint puts significant effort into driving network value through its mobile ATM locator apps, online tools, financial institution marketing and other initiatives. This makes Allpoint an ideal partner for APTUS as we look to increase transaction volumes across our portfolio."
