Weaker Pound Makes TestLink Refurbished ATMs The Smart Buy

More banks and ATM deployers are buying refurbished ATMs from TestLink in the UK and Czech Republic because the strong euro and US dollar are helping them to make even greater savings than usual. Used ATM machines refurbished by TestLink to 'as-new' condition cost up to 70 per cent less than equivalent new ATMs. Those savings are being underpinned by the strength of the euro and the dollar compared with the British pound. TestLink ATM Sales Manager Andrew French said: "On average, customers outside the UK are saving up to 30 per cent due to the weakened pound and exchange rates."

Poole, Dorset (PRWEB) June 26, 2009 -- More banks and ATM deployers are buying refurbished ATMs from TestLink in the UK and Czech Republic because the strong euro and US dollar are helping them to make even greater savings than usual.

Used ATM machines refurbished by TestLink to 'as-new' condition cost up to 70 per cent less than equivalent new ATMs. Those savings are being underpinned by the strength of the euro and the dollar compared with the British pound.

TestLink ATM Sales Manager Andrew French said: "On average, customers outside the UK are saving up to 30 per cent due to the weakened pound and exchange rates.

"These conditions will change so customers need to act fast and save as much as possible."

Banks and ATM deployers who buy used ATMs from TestLink find them as reliable -- if not more reliable -- than new ATMs because they have been stripped down and meticulously remanufactured part by part. Each refurbished ATM undergoes a strict 210-point quality inspection before leaving TestLink's technical facilities in the UK and Czech Republic.

Mr French said: "Refurbished ATMs will always be the smart option because they are as reliable as new machines and cost less than half the price. The strong euro and dollar have been making that option even smarter because of the highly competitive position of the pound."

Refurbished ATMs are good for the environment because many used ATM parts and modules would have ended up in landfill, had they not been remanufactured by TestLink.

Each refurbished ATM can also be upgraded and branded to clients' specific requirements by TestLink.

ATM anti-skimming kits are a favourite upgrade, as are ATM cassette locking bar kits to protect currency cassettes.

TestLink is experiencing increasing demand for the range of Card Protection Kit+ (CPK+) ATM anti-skimming devices that it supplies.

High profile outbreaks of ATM skimming in Australia and the USA have focused attention on the need for better ATM anti-skimming solutions.

Card Protection Kit+ (CPK+) is a tried and tested countermeasure against all forms of ATM skimming devices.

Users include Deutsche Bank, Barclays, Citibank, HSBC, Lloyds TSB, Royal Bank of Scotland and all banks in Luxembourg and Norway.

CPK+ is invisible from the outside of each ATM, takes under an hour to install and covers all ATM models including NCR, Wincor Nixdorf, Triton and Diebold. Options include silent alarms.

TestLink has 20 years of experience in the remanufacture and upgrading of ATMs. The company operates to ISO9000 and ISO14001 quality standards and has an ethical environmental policy.
