According to VocaLink, it is supplying HSBC the ATM operating infrastructure and supporting supply chain services.

Martin Wilson, chief marketing officer at VocaLink, said: ATMs continue to be an essential self service facility for bank customers. Our ATM Managed Service proposition enables banks to improve their ATM channel performance. HSBC’s implementation will allow them to deploy their ATMs cost effectively into convenience locations where demand continues to grow.

Tim Hutchins, head of self service and branch counters at HSBC, said: We chose to work with VocaLink for this project because of their knowledge of, and leadership in, the ATM market and in particular the convenience sector which has increased our speed to market for this proposition. This is a great fit with the LINK Financial Inclusion Programme and supports HSBC’s commitment to deploy free to use ATMs.
