CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA, January 16, 2010
/24-7PressRelease/ -- In Johannesburg and other major city centers vendors are preparing themselves for the abundance of World Cup soccer fans by ordering independent
automated teller machines now. With an augmented visitor demand over the World Cup festivities for ATM availability, vendors and suppliers realise the anticipated need for instant cash withdrawal service. It seems that hard currency still beats debit and credit cards with local and international visitors.
Marc Sternberg, MD of Spark ATM Systems says
"We're seeing demand across the country, specifically in host cities gearing themselves up for the soccer." The reward for installing an independent secure ATM is that it draws potential clients who need instant funds, and who then spend a portion of the cash drawn in the same store, so the bonus is two-fold. With the installation of an independent ATM machine, a supplier will continue to attract repeat business and loyal clients will return to that particular supplier because of the secure ATM cash withdrawal facility. Drawing funds from within a shop will seem prudent for many because of the protected setting, and constant flow of traffic.
It will be safer and simpler to draw cash this New Year because of the drastic increase in ATM machines being made available with the forthcoming World Cup. As many as 50 ATMs per month are being manufactured so that demand for ATM installation is met by Spark ATM, especially with the impending approach of the World Cup. With the incremental surge for independent ATMs of this nature, retail shops and rural outlets are buying ATMS prior to the arrival of fans. The self-contained ATM works in the same way as a bank ATM; the only difference being the "dip-card" feature, your card is not swallowed like the bank ATM so you no longer have to concern yourself with a machine gulping your bank card.
Tourists have the expectation that they will be able to access their cash immediately and whenever they might need it, day or night. Recreational and hospitality outlets such as hotels, restaurants and shops across South Africa have initiated the purchase of ATM machines in anticipation of global customers. This means safe and prompt accessibility to your cash at an automated teller machine. There are only 20 000 ATMs around the country at this time and these will not be sufficient to supply the expected demand. Marc Sternberg says "The international standard is to have more than 1 000 ATMs for one million people." South Africa finds itself profoundly deficient to international ratio which could be the only obstacle to an awesome global event like the World Cup. The ATMs are loaded with cash by the shop owners each day, and only hold enough cash for a day's worth of transactions; the bank refills each sovereign ATM in return.
If you had concerns or questions about where you might find an exclusive ATM this summer, keep your eyes open for a unique and convenient Spark
ATM in many stores nationwide. If you cannot afford to have your debit card devoured by a bank ATM, look out for a pertinent dip-card ATM under cover in a retail store near you - these popular and self-sufficient ATMs will assist you with cash whenever you desire it. The World Cup will not only bring a multitude of excited global soccer fans to South Africa but we will all benefit from new age secure ATMs at ubiquitous convenience stores nationally.
Spark ATM Systems have captured the instant cash market by providing independent and customer safe machines. The benefits to drawing cash from an independent ATM are many, for one, you can draw cash from inside a shop or hotel, where there is safety in numbers, witnesses and less prospect of fraud or forced withdrawals. South African and international consumers will now be able to draw money in safe zones with less fear of scandal.
