Notes to Editors:
The Moneybox Group deploys, manages and maintains cash machines (ATMs) in the
UK, Netherlands and Germany. The Group also operates cashless payment and
access control systems in the UK through its G2 subsidiary, which was acquired
in March 2004, when Moneybox floated on AIM.
Moneybox launched its first convenience ATM in June 1999. At 30 June 2004,
Moneybox operated 2,665 ATMs in the UK, 166 ATMs in the Netherlands and 262
ATMs in Germany. In the UK, Moneybox's cashless payment and access control
systems are used by over 400 customers at more than 1,700 sites.
Moneybox deploys ATMs at points of convenience, with consumers paying a
convenience fee per cash transaction. This enables the ATM to be located in
places that do not attract enough cardholders to support a traditional cash
machine, promoting consumer choice and wider accessibility to their cash.
Virtually every bankcard and credit card is acceptable through Moneybox ATMs
as a result of Moneybox's membership of the LINK network.
The Moneybox ATM estate comprises owned and operated fully managed ATMs,
merchant replenished ATMs and ATMs that are managed on behalf of financial
institutions.
The G2 Group was established in 1991. In August 2002, G2 acquired a majority
holding in Transacsys plc (a company then listed on London Stock Exchange's
Alternative Investment Market (AIM)). Transacsys (formerly known as Girovend)
introduced its cashless payment systems in 1984 and has supplied access control
systems since 1994.
G2 processes ATM, credit and debit card, direct debit, internet and stored
value card transactions. G2 also develops, sells and maintains cashless payment
and access control systems and in 2003 supplied approximately 300,000 smart
cards and 300,000 magnetic strip cards to the workplace market.
