April 6, 2017

Puloon USA has certified its Sirius I and Sirius II ATMs with Switch Commerce, an ATM transaction processor serving more than 35,000 terminals nationwide, according to a press release from the manufacturer.

Switch certification gives Puloon ATM owners the option to operate through a widely known processor of both surcharge and surcharge-free ATM transactions, the company said.

Switch connects with PIN debit networks such as AFFN, Cirrus, CU24, EBT, Exchange, Plus, Pulse, NYCE, Star and Shazam.

"After undergoing a strenuous review and testing process, Switch Commerce is excited to be able to certify the EMV enabled Sirius I and Sirius II terminals on our ATM network," Chief Operating Officer Kevin Watts said in the release.

Long known in the U.S. as a maker of cash dispensers, Korea's Puloon Technologies only recently announced its entry into the market with two modestly priced ATM models.

Sirius I measures just 14 by 22 inches, and accepts up to 8,000 notes; Sirius II offers options that include a barcode reader, 15-inch hi-resolution touch screen, and capacity for up to four removable 2,000-note cassettes, according to the company.
