LINK
LINK is the UK's cash machine network. Virtually every cash machine in the UK is connected to LINK, and LINK provides the only route through which debit card and ATM card issuers can offer their customers reliable nationwide access to cash. All the UK's significant debit and ATM card issuers are LINK members.
Cash machine operators who want to deploy ATMs in the UK must join LINK in order to be able to offer cash to the 100 million LINK-enabled cards in circulation. LINK cash withdrawals can exceed £10 billion per month in value and at its busiest, LINK processes over 1 million transactions an hour.
The number of cash machines in the UK has grown from 36,000 in 2001 to around 63,000 today. The number of free-to-use ATMs is at an all-time high of over 40,000. Almost 97% of all ATM cash withdrawals by UK cardholders in the UK are made free-of-charge.
