Euronet Begins Operating 100+ ATMs for ABN AMRO Hungary Leawood, Kansas, USA – Euronet Services Inc. (Nasdaq: EEFT) has begun operating a network of over 100 ATMs for ABN AMRO Hungary under a multi-year outsourcing agreement.
Euronet Services recently completed the take-over of the monitoring and operation of 97 bank-owned ATMs currently located in ABN AMRO Hungary branches. In addition, Euronet will install and operate another 15 ATMs under the ABN AMRO brand name that will be owned by Euronet. Implementation of the agreement began in early April.
The new outsourcing contract will increase the total number of bank-owned ATMs that Euronet operates under outsourcing agreements across all its markets by 14%. When the project implementation is complete, Euronet will operate approximately 620 ATMs in Hungary, roughly one-quarter of all ATMs in that country. Nearly 40% of the ATMs operated by Euronet in Hungary will be bank-owned.
“We are pleased to be providing ABM AMRO Hungary with a range of electronic banking products and services, from software to ATM network participation to outsourcing,” said Peter Hartmann, Managing Director of Euronet in Hungary. “In this market, we believe only Euronet can offer banks such a complete package.”
David Haymes, Executive Director of ABN AMRO Hungary, said, “ABN AMRO is committed to providing our customers in Hungary with top-quality bankcard and ATM services. By outsourcing our ATM network operations to Euronet, we know that part of our business is in the hands of the experts.”

The number of bankcards issued in Hungary has grown rapidly over the last three years, up 208% since the end of 1996, and now comprising approximately 3.6 million cardholders or 36% percent of the country’s population.
