LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Chase is expanding its nationwide network of ATMs with approximately 800 locations in ARCO-branded ampm locations in California as well as Washington, Arizona, Oregon and Nevada.
“We are making banking even more convenient for millions of Chase customers, especially in California,” said Jim Sutton, head of ATM distribution and deployment at Chase. “Many of our customers already take advantage of ampm’s extensive network, and soon they will be able to use Chase ATMs there with no fee. Select locations will also allow Chase customers to make deposits at the ATM.”
About 75% of the expansion will be in California, bringing the total number of Chase ATMs in California to nearly 4,000. The new Chase ATMs began arriving in participating ampm stores in late November, and most will be installed by the end of March 2012.
“Chase’s ATMs are an exciting addition to our convenience store offering, and will help us grow our customer base,” said ampm President Bill Fry. “We expect this to help generate additional fuel purchases and in-store sales, further strengthening the ampm brand.”
