Hyosung America Announces Exciting New Distribution Model

IRVING, Texas, July 1, 2020 –  Hyosung America, the largest provider of ATMs in the United States, today is announcing an exciting new distribution model to better serve Regional and Community Financial Institutions. Under this strategy, Hyosung will establish three distinct channels to market, including a Preferred Partner program.

Hyosung Preferred Partners will be the only full-service partners authorized to resell Hyosung products to Financial Institutions in specific geographic areas of responsibility. Eden Prairie, Minnesota-based NuSource Financial is among the first three Preferred Partners. It will be responsible for servicing Kansas, Minnesota and Wisconsin.

“What we have found especially gratifying with our partnership with Hyosung is their willingness to collaborate,” said Jon Erpelding, president and CEO of NuSource Financial. “Not only do they listen, but they deliver on the feedback we are providing from our own bank and credit union partners. Our customers are excited to share their ideas and visions about how to provide the best customer experience possible. We are excited that our Hyosung partnership allows us to deliver that unique experience.”

Hyosung’s remaining two distribution channels are Authorized Hyosung Resellers and Strategic Partners. Authorized Hyosung Resellers are full-service dealers authorized to resell Hyosung products on a non-exclusive basis in assigned geographic markets. Strategic Partners will be industry-specific partners authorized to resell Hyosung’s advanced technology products as part of integrated solutions on a nationwide basis.

“We believe these changes will drive clear accountability and enable our partners to make the investments required to ensure industry-leading support in their local markets,” said Hee-Eun Ahn, Hyosung America’s CEO.

The two other dealers Hyosung has selected as Preferred Partners are:

• Bancsource, headquartered in Springfield, Missouri, which will assume responsibilities for Alabama, Mississippi and Missouri.
• BranchServ, headquartered in Bethel, Connecticut, which will take on Preferred Partner responsibilities for Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont.

 “We selected this first group of three companies for our Preferred Partner program because of their high performance and dedication to their customers,” Ahn said. “We’re extremely proud to have them as part of our Hyosung dealer network and are fully committed to our mutual and profitable growth.”

 “Our strategic relationship with Hyosung allows us to offer our customers innovative industry-leading core-connected technology,” said Jeff Chick, CEO of Bancsource. “Together we are helping Regional Banks and Credit Unions transform the way they do business with their customers and members and provide safe banking options in this post-COVID environment.”

“BranchServ has been partnering with Hyosung for more than five years, and together we’ve achieved outstanding results implementing their industry-leading bank automation portfolio throughout our footprint,” says Tom Brennan, CEO of BranchServ. “Our customer success speaks for itself, and we are pleased to be an exclusive partner with Hyosung.”

Hyosung maintains a robust dealer network to serve the remaining 37 states and plans to increase the number of Preferred Partners in additional geographic areas over the next 3-5 years.
