ATM supplier TestLink has reported that celebrations of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and the Olympics have propelled a 15% increase in ATM parts sales in the past two months in the UK.
The UK and Czech Republic-based company said the Jubilee was responsible for “a significant rise in ATM transaction volumes” and that the Olympics will increase the UK’s demand for cash even further.
Financial service providers will make every effort “to ensure that high levels of ATM availability are maintained for both UK and international guests during this time,” said the ATM supplier.
“Such high levels of cash transactions will inevitably drive more maintenance calls and parts requirements,” said Greg Hughes, TestLink Managing Director.
TestLink says the volume of requests for ATM parts, such as configured currency cassettes, have went up 50% compared to the first semester of 2011; and it is preparing its stock to a continuous growth of demand.
“[TestLink] has worked closely with its field maintenance customers to ensure there will be sufficient inventory in place at the key Olympic sites to ensure levels of ATM availability are maintained,” said Hughes.
