NationalLink Inc. Celebrates 25th Business Anniversary in Providing Complete ATM Solutions and Serving Cannabis Businesses
NationalLink, Inc., one of the nation’s largest providers of ATM Solutions, headquartered in Glendora, Calif., is celebrating their 25th business anniversary in the ATM Business.
Company President Sam Kandah founded NationalLink in 1992 with a focus on credit card processing. With the deregulation of ATMs in 1996, Sam took the opportunity to add the ATM product line, allowing businesses of all sizes to earn additional income through managed ATM programs. National Link now has a network of over 16,000 ATMs in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands, and is proud to serve Cannabis retailers nationwide.
Since the U.S. has yet to legalize cannabis at the federal level, this poses challenges to cannabis retailers operating in states where it is legal to conduct cannabis sales. Sales that involve a card transaction or credit card processing of any kind may be flagged as suspicious, but cash remains an acceptable form of payment. The solution to this issue is having an ATM inside cannabis retail locations so customers can withdraw cash to pay for purchases. NationalLink serves cannabis retailers across the country, providing turn-key ATM placements at no cost to merchants.
Over the past 25 years, NationalLink has expanded their product and service offering in providing comprehensive cash management solutions, adding smart safes, cash recyclers and cash handling equipment to their product line. Sam explains, “We responded to customer demand for expanded services in reliable, secure and efficient cash logistics solutions.”
NationalLink serves a diverse B2B marketplace including: banks, financial institutions, credit unions, hotels, malls, convenience stores, gas stations, hospitals, universities, entertainment centers, and cannabis businesses across the nation.
Business Development Director Herman Trejo, a NationalLink employee for 20 years, states, “We’re always innovating so we can offer customers even better ways to manage cash and payment processing in the ever-changing Cannabis business platform."
