Financial Institutions | Privileged Status

Privileged Status is a program developed by the SHAZAM network to help community financial institutions provide their customers with a broad base of surcharge-free ATM locations.

Privileged Status Benefits

Privileged Status provides the following benefits:

• For Consumers — Customers of participating Privileged Status financial institutions can use the ATMs of other participating Privileged Status financial institutions without paying surcharge fees. Privileged Status cardholders just need to look for ATMs that display the Privileged Status logo. Cardholders can also search for a participating Privileged Status ATM in their area.
• For Financial Institutions — Financial institutions participating in Privileged Status expand the number of surcharge-free ATM locations available to their customers. Other benefits include building customer loyalty and competing with institutions with larger fleets of ATMs.
• For Merchants — Privileged Status locations attract cardholders. Cardholder traffic and availability of cash provide merchants the opportunity to sell merchandise.
