There are so many ATMs throughout the world, that the ATM is now almost considered a commodity. In developed countries, there is barely any room for incremental growth- except in the replacement of ATMs or in newly built locations.

In addition to these two deals, Citibank of India recently signed an ATM outsourcing agreement with Euronet, which includes all aspects of outsourcing. Furthermore, Euronet recently installed a switch in India. Detailed info: The Indian arm of Euronet Worldwide, has bagged a contract to manage the ATM services of Development Credit Bank (DCB). Euronet also expects to soon finalize ATM management contracts with Bank of Punjab, Centurion Bank and Karnataka Bank. DCB is the latest bank to outsource its ATM management to Euronet. Three others which have previously outsourced their complete management of their ATM programs to Euronet are IDBI Bank, Standard Chartered and Citibank. UTI and Corporation Bank have outsourced only their shared ATM services to Euronet India under its Cashnet network. With the addition of the newest financial institutions, Cashnet now includes about 3,000 ATMs.

Rationale for Outsourcing
Reduce channel complexity Focus on core competencies Reduce staffing costs Single point of access Reduce upgrade costs Deliver new products to market faster Extend functionality without development costs Challenges Reduced control of the ATM program Reputation is at risk Goals and objectives not met Contractual issues Loss of in-house expertise

Reasons to Outsource The majority of respondents in a recent UK survey concluded that improved customer service was one of the main reasons for outsourcing The main reasons given for not outsourcing payment processing are a. risk of losing control b. lack of experience in managing outsourcing service providers. There are a number of reasons that make outsourcing transaction processing attractive to respondents, but the two main drivers are c. better customer services d. cost savings The single most important reason for outsourcing, when the issue is probed further, is cost saving. This is particularly related to savings in people and infrastructure. The main criteria used to measure the success of outsourced transaction processing were identified as e. Improved operations and processing as a result of better efficiency and performance f. Availability and reliability This brings about cost efficiencies and more opportunities for better use of resources, which will enhance business performance and deliver better profits but, providers have to be able to demonstrate these benefits. eFunds Commission Report: Metrica Research Limited 2003

eFunds Corporation & A Credit Union Network
A Case Study A Partnership eFunds Corporation & A Credit Union Network eFunds managed several ATMs for a credit union network in the United States. These ATMs were located at convenience stores in Michigan. They also outsource their switch to us.
16
Case Study The Issues Credit Union Network’s Requirements
Excellent ATM uptime Better customer service Greater customer convenience The credit union wanted eFunds to manage these ATMs (we did everything, but they owned the equipment) so that they wouldn’t have to hassle with the time and expense of managing the ATMs for their retail partner. In addition, they ran all of their transactions through our switch for their entire ATM base (thousands of ATMs).
17
Case Study The Solution
Credit Union Network outsources the following services to eFunds: Processing for EFT Network Switch Terminal Driving Authorization Services Management of CO-OP ATM Network at select locations
18
Case Study The Results 100% availability (processing)
20% increase in transaction volume through EFT switch in 2003 90+ ATMs Managed by eFunds As a third party, experienced in electronic payments and ATM managed services, we proved to this financial services provider that we could out perform their own standards by offering them 100% availability at their ATMs (through processing). In addition, we increased their transaction volume through their switch and successfully managed 90 of their ATMs for their retail customer.
