First Data Corp. (NYSE: FDC) today announced an enhancement to the STAR Network surcharge-free service, STARsf®. The company has entered into an agreement with the Allpoint Network to offer all participating STARsf financial institutions access to more than 32,000 surcharge-free ATMs through Allpoint, America's largest surcharge-free ATM network.

Allpoint ATMs are conveniently located in all 50 states ? in national and regional retailers like Target, ExxonMobil and Costco ? and STARsf cardholders will have unparalleled access to surcharge-free ATMs coast-to-coast. Cardholders of any STAR member enrolled in the STARsf service receive unlimited surcharge-free access at participating ATMs.

?ATM access is an important factor for consumers when they choose a financial institution, and the availability of thousands of surcharge-free ATMs is enticing to customers who value convenience and savings. With unmatched cardholder access to funds at Allpoint ATMs, STARsf helps members potentially generate more ATM usage and increase associated revenue. This is just one way that First Data and the STAR Network can increase the value of an institution's deposit account relationships,? said Todd Strubbe, president of First Data Debit Services.

?This relationship creates a tremendous opportunity for financial institutions that participate in STARsf. They can attract more customers and reduce attrition with the prospect of convenient access to cash without having to pay surcharge fees,? said Ben Psillas, president of the Allpoint Network.
