Cardtronics ATM operator and its partner, fintech Chime, signed an agreement to expand Chime's ATM access in 2021, according to a press release. This access will enable cardholders to access their cash fee-free when using their Chime debit card at Allpoint ATMs.

Cardtronics owns Allpoint, a surcharge-free ATM network located in top retail establishments, grocery, convenience stores and big-box stores.

"Giving consumers convenient access to fee-free ATMs is important to Chime's vision of helping its members get ahead by making managing money easier. With 85% of Americans living within five miles of a Cardtronics-owned ATM, Chime will be adding another layer of convenience and scale, and we are pleased to be part of providing that access," Carter Hunt, managing director of North America for Cardtronics said in the release.
