Calypso Canada Extends ATM Convenience to Millions of International Cardholders

Calypso, the largest white label Automated Teller Machine (ATM) transaction processing market in Canada and a preferred processor for Triton ATMs, is pleased to announce that it has obtained approval from Visa to accept VISA International cards at VISA approved ATM locations.

With this new approval, ATMs processed by Calypso, the first white label ATM processor to succeed in getting both VISA Plus and VISA International approval, will now be able to accept International Visa-sponsored cards, an additional 1.5 billion cards worldwide. Also, the approval allows for Visa branding to be applied to Calypso ATMs.

 “The ability to service both VISA Plus and Visa International cardholders is a significant value-added step for Calypso Canada, our partners and our customers,” said Doug Epp, General Manager for Calypso.  “Since we obtained Visa International approval we have already seen a 5 percent increase in foreign card transactions.”

Calypso Canada officials worked very closely with Moneris Solutions Corp., our technology and ISO partners, and Visa Canada to ensure that all of the rigorous security and operating standards established by Visa have been met.
