Marqeta is pleased to announce a new partnership with Cardtronics, giving any cardholder with a Marqeta card access to the company’s network of surcharge-free Allpoint ATMs.
Although our recent consumer survey showed that overall ATM usage declined due to health concerns during COVID-19, cash still makes up a significant portion of payments, especially for certain segments of the population that rely on cash for their earnings and certain transactions.
Three-quarters of underbanked consumers are using “as much or more cash” today as they were before COVID-19.- While digital transactions continue to grow, cash was still expected to represent 28% of all U.S. payments in 2020.
- The ability to use ATMs without a fee is now the second-most ranked driver of convenience for U.S. banking consumers.
That is why Marqeta has joined Cardtronics’ Allpoint network of surcharge-free ATMs. Now any digital bank, fintech, or business building a card program on the Marqeta platform can provide their cardholders with convenient, no-fee access to cash. Allpoint’s network of approximately 55,000 ATMs globally are located in high-traffic locations such as grocery and convenience stores, pharmacies, and big-box stores, reducing barriers for cardholders who need quick and convenient access to their funds.
“In an increasingly competitive digital banking space, surcharge-free ATM access is becoming table stakes for companies looking to bring modern banking products to market,” said Salman Syed, SVP/GM of North America at Marqeta. “We’re looking forward to enabling Marqeta customers to offer access to Cardtronics’ ATM network through our modern card issuing platform.”
