" data-reactid="12" type="text">LEAWOOD, Kan., April 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Euronet Worldwide (EEFT), a leading global financial technology solutions and payments provider, announced today the completion of the acquisition of Dolphin Debit, a U.S.-based full-service ATM outsourcing company.
Dolphin Debit (Dolphin) provides comprehensive ATM outsourcing of more than 1,900 ATMs for its approximately 300 bank and credit union customers across the United States.
Financial institutions choose Dolphin and Euronet ATM outsourcing solutions to free their staff of the burden of ATM operations in order to focus on the institution’s core competencies. Benefits include the reduction of capital and operational expenses, improvement of ATM performance and innovations, management of ATM compliance obligations, achievement of economies of scale, and elimination of arduous vendor management.
The market opportunity for ATM outsourcing is large for Dolphin and made more attainable through the addition of Euronet’s own experience in outsourcing (26,000 ATMs) and pass-through processing (136,000 ATMs) as well as the company’s advanced payments technologies. Consider:
“ATM outsourcing in the United States historically has been limited to cash dispense and deposit transactions without any advanced processing services available,” said Michael J. Brown, Euronet’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Euronet can now offer more to these customers with our technical abilities to process any transaction – digital or cash – worldwide. These are the services banks in the U.S. are increasingly being asked for by mobile-savvy customers and we will be in an excellent position to elevate the technical profile and product portfolio of any bank through our outsourcing services with Dolphin.”
“We have been aware of Euronet’s position as a leader in the global ATM market for some time, so this is an exciting opportunity for us to be able to contribute to the company’s overall strategic vision,” said Gary Walston, who will remain with the company as Chief Executive Officer of Dolphin Debit. “Euronet’s vast resources and superior technology were important factors in our decision to find the right partner to further grow our existing business while enabling us to continue to provide exceptional service and new innovations for our current customers.”
