Product: High-Speed Internet ATM Processing
Companies: RBS Lynk and ATM USA LLC

How convenient are convenience stores when they don't have ATMs on the premises to dispense cash? Many owners of petroleum and c-stores do make ATMs available for their customers, and now these retailers have access to high-speed Internet connections over which to conduct ATM transactions.

A partnership between RBS Lynk and ATM USA offers a new Internet protocol (IP) service designed especially for convenience and petroleum merchants. RBS Lynk will manage the back-end transaction processing, and ATM USA will sell, distribute and service the merchants.

The RBS Lynk IP solution piggybacks ATM processing onto the merchants' existing broadband connections to provide faster transactions that average between three and five seconds and cost savings through reducing the need for dedicated phone lines.

Merchants choose between high-speed Internet with RBS Lynk's secure sockets layer (SSL) or private IP connections through satellite or frame relay. When the system is deployed, an Internet payment gateway is installed on the merchant's Internet connection. A single payment gateway can support several store locations, depending on transaction volume.

Selling points for ISOs/merchant level salespeople (MLSs) include customer benefits and the additional revenue stream from increased ATM transactions for merchants. Using an existing Internet connection for high-speed ATM transactions is another benefit for merchants.

As an added service, many convenience stores and gas stations have ATMs for their customers. Not only does this benefit the customer, but it is an additional revenue stream for the merchant and ISO/MLS.
