MPS is 2nd network to certify Fujitsu Series 8000 ATMs

December 16, 2001

DALLAS--  The Fujitsu Transaction Solutions Series 8000 family of ATMs has been certified by Midwest Payment Systems (MPS) of Cincinnati, the second network certification to be announced by Fujitsu this month following a similar announcement with eFunds.

To achieve certification, the Windows 2000-based Fujitsu Series 8000 ATMs were tested for seamless integration within the MPS network. Certification assures ATM owners that the Series 8000 offers "plug and play" functionality using a standard ATM emulation without any changes to host systems.

According to Fujitsu, the Windows 2000 operating system supports both traditional financial transactions and future services that may be introduced by MPS -- all with a single software platform.

Neill Collins, Fujitsu vice president of financial systems sales, said, "Achieving certification by all the major ATM networks makes Fujitsu ATMs ready for immediate use by the widest range of financial services providers, both traditional and non-traditional -- from banks, to convenience stores, to retail chains and more."

Fujitsu ATMs continue to be tested for network certification among other EFT networks.
