Plus No Surcharge Alliance Is Created

Visa has created a "Plus No Surcharge Alliance,"-an optional service that will help financial institutions expand no surcharge ATM access for their cardholders, the association said. As financial institutions join the Plus No Surcharge Alliance, specially designed decals will be added to participating ATMs, and cardholders will be notified by their financial institution if it is a participant. In addition, the Visa/Plus ATM locator service on Visa.com and a toll-free hotline (1-800-The-Plus) will assist cardholders in identifying participating ATMs, Visa added. The Visa/Plus ATM Network services the world, with more than 800,000 ATMs in 144 countries, including more than 364,000 in the U.S. alone.
