Cardtronics to update ATMs for ADA compliance
June 27, 2007
The Associated Press: Houston-based Cardtronics Inc. says it plans to make its ATMs accessible to the blind by 2010 as part of a deal with the National Federation of the Blind and Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley. Cardtronics operates about 25,000 ATMs in the United States in locations including Albertson's supermarkets, CVS pharmacy, CostCo., Hess Corp., Sunoco, and Target. The federation and the attorney general's office in 2003 sued E-Trade Access Inc. and E-Trade Bank for not complying with Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines. Cardtronics purchased the E-Trade ATM fleet in 2004.
