As the infrastructure behind the LINK scheme, the VocaLink ATM switch is the busiest in the world. It switches over 2.5 billion shared ATM transactions annually, operating at over 99.9% availability. It connects financial institutions, the post office, mobile phone operators and Independent ATM deployers.

Our central switch operation provides a gateway service to VISA and MasterCard and is backed up by a settlement process that handles comprehensive management information settling in excess of up to £430 million daily.

An agreement with the US PULSE network allows Discover and Diners Club International cardholders to use LINK ATMs without having to go through an international provider. Other agreements that will enable overseas issuers to use LINK ATMs will be announced shortly.
