DENVER - First Data Corp. signed an agreement to provide Star Network access to Brookfield, Wis.-based North Shore Bank at more than 40 locations throughout Wisconsin. According to a news release, North Shore's customers also receive access to surcharge-free ATMs in the United States that are part of Star's surcharge-free program.
