Network Interfaces

An interface to a regional, national or international network provides a financial institution with shared network services. Upon implemention, the financial institution can offer its customers a wider range of ATM and EFT-POS terminal usage. Most financial institutions in the United States connect to a regional network that also supports a gateway to an international network like MasterCard and Visa - click here for network interfaces supported in the USA.


In international markets, most financial institutions connect to a national switch and may also connect directly to international networks like MasterCard and Visa - click here for network interfaces supported internationally.
