Deutsche Bank 24 Extends Agreement for Euronet’s ATM Outsourcing in Poland
Deutsche Bank 24 Extends Agreement for Euronet’s ATM Outsourcing in Poland WARSAW, POLAND and LEAWOOD, KANSAS – February 25, 2002 — Euronet Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ: EEFT), a leading provider of secure electronic financial transaction solutions, and Deutsche Bank 24 S.A have agreed to a second five-year contract for ATM outsourcing to manage the bank’s entire network in Poland. Under terms of the agreement, Euronet will provide all ATM driving, transaction routing, settlement/reporting and card management tasks for the bank’s in-branch and off-premise ATMs.
This new multiyear agreement continues to provide Deutsche Bank 24 customers with access to Euronet’s network of 430 ATMs in Poland. Deutsche Bank 24 also expanded the scope of the services, providing its customers with value-added transactions at each ATM, including bill payment solutions and prepaid airtime recharge from all three mobile operators in Poland – Plus GSM, ERA GSM and Centertel.
“This market demands a modern financial services provider offering multiple banking channels and a customer-oriented combination of products, services and expert advice,” said Dr. Friedhelm Herb, President of the Board and CEO at Deutsche Bank 24 S.A. “Our customers want integrated solutions and freedom of choice in their banking as well as access to branch-based, mobile and online services. Our ongoing relationship with Euronet, therefore, is integral to expanding our customers’ ability to choose as we introduce bill pay and other new services to Poland.”
Launched in Poland last July, Deutsche Bank 24 S.A. currently provides services to a large number of personal banking customers, as well as small and medium-sized companies. Euronet already outsources card services for Deutsche Bank 24 S.A., managing the daily issuance of debit and charge card transactions, providing the bank with a gateway to the Visa network, as well as communication with local card organizations such as Polcard.
“We’re honored to support Deutsche Bank 24 S.A. growth as an integrated financial services provider, as they empower their customers with new electronic bill payment capabilities,” said Daniel R. Henry, Euronet Worldwide President and Chief Operating Officer. “Poland is a growing market with enormous potential, where an increasing number of institutions are choosing to outsource the management of their ATM networks. Since introducing our ATM network to Poland in 1995, we have become the leading provider of secure financial transaction solutions in the country.”
