Preparing fora "smart" future with Mondex
Clinton Community Credit
Union replaces old ATM with
Smart Card compatible one,
By Chantal) Van Raay
T -A Reporter
EXETER The automatic teller
machine (ATM)• at the Clinton
Community Credit Union is getting
"smart." .
The -credit union is preparing for
the tuture_by PYchanging their old
ATM with a new ATM, compatible
with the Smart Card device.
The Smart-. Card, familiarly
known. as
Mondex, has
been in its pi-
lot stage for
about- a' year
in Guelph,
and is quickly
• travelling to
other areas in'
Ontario. The•
card was
launched in
Guelph by the
Royal Bank
and Canadian Imperial Bank of
Commerce on -a limited basis in
1996 and city-wide in 1997.
.The Clinton Community Credit
i Union :decided to upgrade their
j ATM with Mondex compatibility
because they want, -to be ready
when and if the Mondex card hits
Exeter.
What is Mondex?
Mondex is an electronic. cash
card. Itis carried in a wallet called
..a cash tracker, or transactor. Thc
transactor looks like a small cal.
culator with a sleeve to ac-
commodate the Mondex card. it
can he used to display the balance,
last five transactions, lock or un-
lock the card and change the per-
sonal code number: It can hold any
amount of money and cash can he
taken directly from it: It can down-
load money through either an ATM
or through the new Vista 360
phones from. Bell.
However, there arc down sides to
the card.- Once the card is Icst or
,stolen, it is like losing physical le-
gal • tender. if it's gone, it's gone.
Clinton Community Credit Union
Branch Manager Mike Cregan ad-
vised people not to carry a great
amount of money in the card, But
the card is a faster transaction. than
ATM cards, since
the user does not
have to relay a pass-
word or wait for the
card to dial up.
Mondex has prov.-
en fairly successful
.among many Guelph
stores. In fact, -600
merchants in Guelph
accept Mondex and
--there are over 10,000
card holders. • Buses
in Guelph also ac-
cept the cards as well as several
taxi firms, payphones, vending ma-
chines and even parking meters
have the capability to.use Mondex.
Since the old ATM at the -credit
'union desperately needed to he re-
placed because of•its-antiquity stat-
Cregan decided to upgrade it.
with the latest technology. He said
it • might take- people a- while. -to
-catch on to the new cards but an-
ticipates the town will accept them
over time. He said Smart Cards
should he introduced to Exctcr and
-the.surrounding area in about two
years:- •
Not only does the new ATM
'have the extra added h irivs of
"Smart Card" access but it- Aso
:faster and easier to use than the old-
er .machine, Cregan . added. The
new machine is also wheelchair ac-
t;essible. ,•
Mondex has proven
fairly successful
among many
Guelph stores. In
fact, 600 merchants
in Guelph accept
Mondex and there
are over 10,000 card
holders.
Correction
.I1 was reported in last week's
paper that Hensall Council would
go in camera at the end of the Feb.
9 council meeting regarding the
drab cat bylaw. Instead, it was not-
ed there had been' no direction from
Council to circulate the most recent
draft and this caused frustration
from the delegation because •the
drab had not hecn circulated prior
to.. the meeting. The Times -
Advocate regrets thc error.
