NCR Atleos has announced an expanded partnership with FCTI to deploy thousands of additional ATMs across the US.

The collaboration will also see Atleos deliver terminal driving services to support FCTI’s operations nationwide.

FCTI, a subsidiary of Japan-based Seven Bank, is one of the largest ATM owner-operators in the US, managing services for retail chains including 7-Eleven and Speedway.

The firm holds over US$8 billion in assets and acts as the exclusive ATM operator and technology provider at these locations.

This development builds on a previous agreement between the two companies, which enabled FCTI to serve as an ATM acquirer for the Allpoint Network, expanding cardholder access at FCTI’s retail partner sites.

Atleos was selected for its operational capabilities and experience as an ATM owner-operator.

The scale of the new deployment places FCTI among the largest ATM service points managed within the US market.

“We continuously pursue products, services, and relationships that fulfil our goals of growing transactions and providing excellent service,”

said Masanori Sakaguchi, CEO of FCTI.

“Growing the relationship with Atleos to bring our software capabilities to market on a solid platform of terminal driving with a leading service organisation backed by consistent, quality delivery accomplishes those goals.”

Stuart Mackinnon, EVP and COO of Atleos, added:

“Scaled providers of financial access are rewarding us for a disciplined focus on service excellence. Leading firms like FCTI require market-proven abilities that present the opportunity to grow and differentiate their offerings with reliable systems, processes, and people that make their success a priority.”
