New MasterCard Application Helps iPhone and iPod Touch Users Quickly Find the Nearest ATM
PURCHASE, N.Y. -- MasterCard Worldwide today announced that its MasterCard[R] ATM Hunter application is available on the Apple App Store. The app lets iPhone and iPod touch users easily locate the nearest ATM no matter where in the world they are.
"MasterCard is focused on delivering innovative applications and services that help make life easier not only for MasterCard cardholders, but for all consumers," said Cheryl Guerin, Senior Vice President, Global Digital Marketing, MasterCard Worldwide. "With MasterCard ATM Hunter for iPhone and iPod touch, users will no longer be detoured and slowed down looking for the nearest ATM and can instead spend time doing things they enjoy."
The MasterCard ATM Hunter utilizes the iPhone or iPod touch's location awareness technologies to pinpoint the search. Users can customize their hunt based on their unique banking needs - such as focusing their search to a specific financial institution if they need to make a deposit or wish to avoid ATM withdrawal fees. MasterCard ATM Hunter can also pinpoint wheelchair accessible, drive-through, or 24-hour access ATMs and provide the directions to get there. Additionally, MasterCard ATM Hunter automatically provides users with helpful ATM safety tips.
MasterCard ATM Hunter is available for free from Apple's App Store on iPhone and iPod touch or at www.itunes.com/appstore/.
Powered by the MasterCard Location Services platform, MasterCard ATM Hunter is the latest delivery channel for ATM location information from MasterCard. Each year, more than two million consumers contact MasterCard via the Web, phone and wireless (SMS) to find ATM locations - when they need them, wherever they are - quickly and easily.
MasterCard ATM Hunter is the first in a series of free applications that MasterCard is developing specifically for iPhone and iPod touch. For more information, please visit www.mastercard.com.
