NCR Atleos Corporation (Atleos), a provider of self-service financial access solutions, has announced that DirectPay and iXchange will utilize its owned and operated ATM platform, the Cashzone Network, to enhance reliable and secure cash access for consumers across Greece.DirectPay and iXchange, both part of the same group, are established financial and payment service providers in Greece. DirectPay operates over 1,300 agent locations, offering services such as MoneyGram money transfers, bill payments, and cash-to-bank deposits. iXchange provides foreign currency exchange, money transfers, and bill payment services.Panos Spiridakos, Managing Director of DirectPay, stated, “Our objective has always been to make financial transactions simple, accessible, and secure for all.

By implementing Atleos’ ATMs, consumers gain a dependable, secure way to withdraw cash and conduct their tasks with convenience and ease. At the same time, our employees are able to operate more efficiently, saving time to assist customers with more complicated transactions.”According to Ben Bregman, Senior Vice President, Global Network Solutions for Atleos, the European Central Bank (ECB)’s 2024 SPACE study on consumer payment behavior indicates that Greek consumers rely on ATMs for cash more than any other channel or Eurozone country, yet they also cite access to cash as a challenge. Bregman added, “By expanding access through the Cashzone Network, DirectPay and iXchange offer a secure, efficient, and easy-to-use cash access platform within familiar retail environments, reducing consumer friction in accessing their accounts and growing loyalty.”Atleos, headquartered in Atlanta, Ga., provides ATM expertise and operates one of the largest independently-owned ATM networks globally.
