History

Allpoint was founded in 2003 by entrepreneur Ben Psillas of ATM National, Inc., who was tired of looking for ATMs from his own bank.[1] In 2005, Cardtronics acquired ATM National, Inc. and Allpoint.[2] In September 2008, Allpoint added ATMs at 5,500 7-Eleven stores to its network.[3] In October 2010, the network expanded to Australia.[4] In January 2011, the network expanded to Mexico.[5] In July 2016, Fifth Third Bank joined the network.[6] In September 2016, First Tennessee joined the network.[7] In July 2017, Rite Aid joined the network.[8] Kroger stores in Atlanta were also added to the network.[9] Effective July 2017, ATMs in 7-Eleven stores were removed from the network.[10] In September 2017, Speedway LLC joined the network.[11] In October 2017, Five Star Bank joined the network.[12]
