Fiserv Inc., a provider of payments and financial technology solutions, has expanded its CheckFreePay network for in-person bill payment to include the ATM network of NCR Atleos Corp., a provider of financial access for financial institutions, retailers and consumers, according to a press release.

Cash-preferred consumers will be able to pay household bills at thousands of ATM locations, including at U.S. retailers, convenience stores and pharmacies.

Traditionally, ATMs that accept cash have primarily been available at bank and credit union branches. With more of these ATMs now in place at retail locations, consumers can pay utility, phone, cable, insurance, credit card, auto and other bills via self-service instead of walking up to a counter or paying in the checkout line.

Merchants can shift cash payments previously made with assistance from store personnel to self-service ATMs, automating transactions and improving efficiency of store operations while still benefitting from increased foot traffic.
