April 15, 2009
MINNEAPOLIS — Frontier Bank, with more than 50 branches throughout Western Washington and Oregon, has joined the MoneyPass surcharge-free ATM network, owned and operated by Elan Financial Services, to provide its customers with surcharge-free access at more than 16,000 ATMs throughout the United States.
"Our decision to participate in MoneyPass is a direct benefit to our cardholders and all consumers who are increasingly aware of surcharge-free networks and are looking for different ways to save money in a challenging economic environment," said Jeff Lewis, senior vice president at Frontier Bank. "We listened to our customers and responded with a service that adds value to their relationship with Frontier Bank while allowing us to significantly expand our ATM coverage."
The MoneyPass network expands Frontier Bank's current footprint of 46 ATMs and also offers the value of surcharge-free ATM transactions.
"As consumers become savvier and more cost-conscious, forward-thinking financial institutions such as Frontier Bank can take advantage of the opportunity presented by MoneyPass and its accessible and convenient locations," said Doug Miraglia, president of MoneyPass. "By participating in a growing surcharge free ATM network, Frontier Bank can increase cardholder satisfaction, attract new cardholders and expand the reach of their self- service capabilities without capital expenditure."
MoneyPass, established in 2003, has more than 16,000 ATMs, more than 30 million cardholders and nearly 1,000 participants.
