Agreement quadruples the number of non-branch Huntington ATMs in the
state and underscores Huntington's commitment to West Virginia
CHARLESTON, W. Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Huntington Bank customers will be able to access their accounts with no
fee by using ATMs at 88 Go Mart locations throughout West Virginia,
significantly increasing convenience for West Virginia customers, the
bank announced today. The new ATMs are in addition to the 31 Huntington
branches and 53 Huntington ATMs already in the state.
"Huntington is committed to making it easier for our West Virginia
customers to have access to their accounts," said Huntington Bank West
Virginia President Andrew Paterno. "Go Mart is a well-respected retailer
and the No. 1 gas provider in the state. Our customers will be able to
use these ATMs at no charge, giving them added convenience as they stop
at a Go Mart for groceries and gas."
One Point Financial (OPF), an ATM operator based in Atlanta, Ga.,
finalized an agreement with Huntington to brand the ATMs.
"One Point Financial strives to develop convenient, cost-effective
delivery channels for ATM placements," said David Bagley, chief
executive officer, One Point Financial. "Strategies that deliver an
inviting customer experience are imperative for driving usage at the ATM
and allowing the financial institution to fully maximize its brand. One
Point Financial's model incorporates customer-centric goals as well as
budget objectives into a comprehensive plan that enables financial
institutions to grow their retail delivery channel in a lean and
challenging economy."
The first ATMs will be placed in Go Marts beginning in early March. All
88 are expected to be placed by mid-March.
