The Group also operates cashless payment and access control systems in the UK through its G2 subsidiary, which was acquired in March 2004, when Moneybox floated on AIM. Moneybox launched its first convenience ATM in June 1999. At 30 June 2004, Moneybox operated 2,665 ATMs in the UK, 166 ATMs in the Netherlands and 262 ATMs in Germany. In the UK, Moneybox's cashless payment and access control systems are used by over 400 customers at more than 1,700 sites. Moneybox deploys ATMs at points of convenience, with consumers paying a convenience fee per cash transaction. This enables the ATM to be located in places that do not attract enough cardholders to support a traditional cash machine, promoting consumer choice and wider accessibility to their cash. Virtually every bankcard and credit card is acceptable through Moneybox ATMs as a result of Moneybox's membership of the LINK network. The Moneybox ATM estate comprises owned and operated fully managed ATMs, merchant replenished ATMs and ATMs that are managed on behalf of financial institutions. The G2 Group was established in 1991. In August 2002, G2 acquired a majority holding in Transacsys plc (a company then listed on London Stock Exchange's Alternative Investment Market (AIM)). Transacsys (formerly known as Girovend) introduced its cashless payment systems in 1984 and has supplied access control systems since 1994. G2 processes ATM, credit and debit card, direct debit, internet and stored value card transactions. G2 also develops, sells and maintains cashless payment and access control systems and in 2003 supplied approximately 300,000 smart cards and 300,000 magnetic strip cards to the workplace market.
