ATM PARTNER PROGRAM
The news of our innovative and exciting ATM Partner Program was recently announced and met with a great deal of enthusiasm from our members. Ficanex has partnered with Threshold Financial Technologies to offer all members an opportunity to add to our network through the addition of off-premise ATMs co-branded with the Financial Institution and THE EXCHANGE® network. Members will identify suitable locations for the ATMs and, upon acceptance, Threshold will provide everything else – installation, management services and vault cash. A small lease cost plus surcharges collected on transactions completed on networks other than THE EXCHANGE® network will fund the program.
“This is a unique opportunity for Members to increase their profile in the communities they do business while at the same time supporting THE EXCHANGE® network to become a stronger and more prominent surcharge-free network – a benefit to both members and their cardholders”, said Linda Matheson, Network General Manager. ‘It is an expansion program for the network we are very excited about.”
A pilot program with North Shore Credit Union will be rolled out in the first quarter of 2011 and Member Kits with all the details will be distributed to members shortly after that. Stand back – your ATM network is about to become bigger and better than ever!

MEMBER SURVEY
Your opinions matter to us and as such, we will once again be conducting a member survey in early 2011.
As a third-party research supplier, Angus Reid Public Opinion regularly conducts this type of research with member and stakeholder groups and Ficanex has engaged Angus Reid to conduct this survey once again. We appreciate your time and effort in completing the online survey to better assist us in understanding the needs and issues facing members of the network so that we can continue to provide high-quality service.
OVER $197,000 RETURNED TO MEMBERS
In 2010, over $197,000 was returned to our member Financial Institutions that participate in the United States POS network ACCEL®. With record transactions due to favourable exchanges rates, shopping in the US is gaining in popularity and every time your cardholder performs a transaction on the ACCEL® network you get $0.20. That adds up … to over $197,000 credited back to our Members. Shopping in the US is popular and profitable!
