Train station ATM transaction volumes ramp up as Bank Machine takes control

HOUSTON, June 30, 2011 - Cardtronics, Inc. (NASDAQ: CATM), the world's largest retail ATM owner, today announced its United Kingdom subsidiary, Bank Machine, has recorded a banner first month providing ATM services at its new portfolio of busy commuter train station locations operated by Southern Railway in the South of and England. Southern Railway, a wholly-owned subsidiary of GoVia Ltd., operates a fleet of 300 trains seven days a week, with 447,000 passenger journeys made every day.

After securing an ATM services contract - including cash-in-transit services - from Southern Railway earlier this year, Bank Machine immediately set about making aesthetic improvements and ATM equipment upgrades. Efficiently executing the ATM site enhancements with a bare-minimum of interruption to ATM availability, Bank Machine assumed operational control of 20 ATMs spread across 12 train stations late in the first quarter. With April marking the first full month of ATM services provided by Bank Machine, ATMs at the entire roster of train stations, including two of Southern England's busiest railway stations in and East Croydon, logged at least a 10 percent increase (same month, year-over-year) of cash withdrawal transactions.

"Southern Railway has been impressed with Bank Machine's entire approach to operating ATMs for us," said Matt Bunn, business development manager, Southern Railway. "Bank Machine oversaw a smooth transition from our previous suppliers and has quickly implemented major improvements to the areas in which the ATMs are located. Even more importantly, Bank Machine has a strong focus on maximizing cash availability. We are already reaping the benefits of Bank Machine's presence on our stations."

In little more than 24 hours, Bank Machine executed a complete aesthetic and functional makeover of the three ATMs available to commuters at . A Bank Machine project engineer remained on-site throughout the transition, with Green Team, the company's cash-in-transit division, loading ATMs immediately as they came on-line.

"Precise planning, meticulous implementation and total in-house control of the process - all core competencies of Bank Machine - made possible a change in ATM service providers, an attractive ATM presentation facelift and the ability to complete it all with a bare minimum of cash machine downtime," said Ron Delnevo, managing director, Bank Machine. "More than 20 million people will pass through East Croydon station this year, and as first month results indicate, Bank Machine's dressing the ATMs to impress can have a profound impact on usage."

During the remainder of 2011, Southern Railway will look to Bank Machine to install ATMs at 10 additional train stations, with some housing cash machines for the first time.

Added Mr. Delnevo: "As a full service, vertically integrated provider of ATM services ranging from site selection to cash-in- transit and everything in between, Bank Machine touches every aspect of the ATM user experience. With this high degree of both aesthetic and process control, we have a unique ability to maximize the performance of any ATM site."
