Puerto Rican ATM processor pledges $1M in hurricane relief

September 27, 2017

Puerto Rico-based processing service Evertec Inc. continues to process ATM and POS transactions throughout its Latin American markets, despite widespread devastation to the U.S. territory from Hurricane Maria.

The company has pledged a total of $1 million for hurricane relief efforts in Puerto Rico, and said it will support the island's processing needs as financial institutions and merchants reestablish power and telecommunications services.

"Hurricane Maria is an unprecedented natural disaster in Puerto Rico and our hearts go out to those affected," Evertec President and CEO Mac Schuessler said in a press release. "I am proud of our colleagues and their efforts to respond to the challenges. We remain deeply committed to supporting our clients and consumers as Puerto Rico recovers."
