Cardtronics Inc. today named Steven A. Rathgaber as its new CEO, replacing Jack M. Antonini, who left the Houston-based company in March.
Rathgaber, president and chief operating officer NYCE Payments Network LLC, will join the ATM independent sales organization Feb.1. Rathgaber also was elected to the company’s board of directors. NYCE is a wholly owned subsidiary of Fidelity National Information Services Inc.
“The opportunity to join Cardtronics at this point in the company’s evolution was one I could not pass up,” Rathgaber said in a statement. “Having spent almost three decades working in the payments industry, I can tell you that Cardtronics is well-positioned to expand the breadth and depth of the financial-services products it currently offers.”
Cardtronics took its time before deciding on Rathgaber. “After an extremely thorough search process, we found an outstanding leader with a sustained track record of exceeding established and operational and financial goals,” Fred R. Lummis, Cardtronics chairman and acting CEO, said in a statement.
Cardtronics operates or manages more than 33,000 ATMs in the United States, United Kingdom, Mexico and Puerto Rico. The company also owns Bethesda, Md.-based Allpoint, the nation’s largest surcharge-free ATM network.
