NCR will enable Clip Money deposit services at its premier cash in network with more than 2,500 operating sites across 30 states serving more than 70 of the largest population centers across the United States, complementing the current ClipDrop network of nearly approximately 400 locations. The expanded network will provide a large portion of U.S. business convenient access to Clip Money’s services allowing businesses to manage cash more efficiently regardless of the branch presence of their bank or credit union of choice.

“This partnership with NCR seamlessly complements Clip Money's existing deposit network, which is primarily situated within shopping malls and prominent big box retailers. NCR’s global market presence will provide Clip Money with an immediate growth platform within North America, as well as the potential to explore international market opportunities that require business deposit transformation.”
