The deal will see ecash, which claims the leading market share in hospitality venues with its specialist payment systems involving both card and ticket-in-ticket-out technology, incorporating its cash dispensing technology and TNS’ TNSLink for ATMs solution in a new purpose built cash-out solution.

The solution is being rolled out across Australia.

Richard Soussa, Director at ecash, said “We’re delighted to be establishing a nationwide ATM estate and providing the market with a greater choice of off-premise ATM equipment. We are leveraging our strengths, combined with TNS’ extensive global reach, to provide a superior service to customers.

“We selected TNS to help us undertake this new strategy because of the fast turnaround time they could offer and the valuable 24x7x365 customer support they provide. They also came highly recommended by another customer and their solution is both flexible and scalable.”

“It was important for us to identify a technology which could be extended to benefit other areas of our business as opportunities arise and the TNSLink product is an extremely versatile and powerful tool which we’re confident will provide significant benefits as we grow.”

TNSLink enables secure, high-speed, one-way and bi-directional connectivity for non-branch ATMs.

Lisa Shipley, TNS Executive Vice President and Managing said the fully managed service reduces capital and operating costs, with the inclusive TNSOnline module delivering a wealth of real-time data and troubleshooting information.
