SparkATMs Will Keep You Rolling In The Money
SparkATM Systems have brought instant cash to consumers across South Africa by being the first independent supplier of ATMs. Shops, petrol stations, supermarkets and convenience stores now have the ability to host their own convenience ATM.
CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA, December 22, 2009 /High Tech - Internet PR News/ -- When you are in a spot and need cash urgently, you can always rely on Spark ATMs for instant cash withdrawals. South African entrepreneur, Marc Sternberg, founded Spark ATM Systems in 2005, becoming the first independent ATM supplier in South Africa. Spark ATM systems hold 15% of the ATM supplier market share in South Africa today. This is a remarkable feat, considering how young Spark ATM Systems are. It seems that consumers want simple access to their cash.
Although purchases by customers can be made with debit and credit cards, it seems that cash transactions still rate successfully with consumers. Therefore, the potential market for immediate access to cash in independent convenience stores, national retailers, post offices, garages and smaller towns is huge. It is Marc Sternberg's dream to create easy cash accessibility for all South Africans as a priority, whether they are enjoying a lunch in Fourways or a drink in the local shebeen in Khayelitsha. With Spark ATMs the possibilities are endless.
There seems to have been a tendency by consumers to not use traveller's cheques in the current climate. With the commencement of the World Cup in less than 200 days, visitors to our South African cities will require hard cash to spend at hotels, clubs and other areas of entertainment. Sternberg said "As the host country, we need to ensure that we can offer this as the majority of visitors will be from countries where it is the norm to find independent ATMs readily available." As consumers we know that there is a shortage of ATMs in the major centers surrounding the 2010 stadia, and the demand will increase leading up to the World Cup kick-off.
Withdrawing cash for most consumers in South Africa is the only access they have to making purchases and living. A huge majority of South Africans do not want to live on credit, and paying for items with cash, upfront, makes the most sense. There are also several positive spinoffs for merchants who host an automated teller machine in store. Some of these being, higher points of sale, and an increase in spend, proven growth in customer loyalty, augmented foot-traffic, savings on bank charges to credit and debit card purchases and direct revenue earnings for the vendors from each in-store transaction.
Spark ATMs offer a full service operation to vendors that buy an independent automated teller machine. Spark ATMs assist with the installation of ATMs from pharmacies to supermarkets. With the need for speedy, secure and safe transactions, the idea of visiting your local convenience store seems probable and highly likely, if you need cash. Urbanisation and globalisation inevitably brings about change. With this efficient and user friendly option, you don't have to wait for a bank to be open.
Spark ATM Systems will change the way in which consumers, whether local or international, engage with instant cash machines. With many more people on the move, making purchases whenever we like, will be easy and hassle free. ATM machines still have a place in society locally and abroad. With an increase in independent ATMs in South Africa, shopping convenience will be delightful.
SparkATM Systems will provide consumers in South Africa with quicker, safer access to their cash. SparkATM Systems is the only independent supplier of ATMs in South Africa.
