Alabama Bank to Put ATMs in Wal-Marts

Colonial Bank said it has entered into an agreement to place automated teller machines in 67 Wal-Mart stores, Sam's Club warehouse stores, and Wal-Mart Supercenters in Alabama.

The bank, a unit of Colonial BancGroup, Montgomery, is the latest of several financial institutions to strike regional deals for ATMs in affiliates of Wal-Mart Stores Inc.

The freestanding ATMs, which will handle cash withdrawals, account transfers, and balance inquiries, will have links to virtually every local and national interchange system, including Alert, Cirrus, Pulse, Honor, Plus, GulfNet, Visa, MasterCard, and Discover.

The machines will increase Colonial Bank's ATM network to 133 locations in Alabama and southern Tennessee.
