Jane Crossan, Claritas Vice President and Practice Leader for its Financial Services Group, said the dataset, which contains nearly 400,000 U.S. locations, is available for importing into Claritas spatial applications, Claritas network optimization models and other spatial applications.
"As a main customer touch point, ATMs are critical to a bank's ability to service its customer base. Since customers associate a bank's brand with service, we see ATMs as a key component in network optimization studies that Claritas would conduct through Integras, our advanced analytical and modeling services division," Crossan said.
"Moreover, ATMs not only promote branding, but can provide a connection to customers through personalized marketing messages," she added.
Crossan said that in addition to the locational information, the dataset also provides other supportive data. Some of the features include:
-- Bank/Retail Outlet Name -- Name of the business that houses the ATM.
-- Location Type -- A description of up to 19 types of businesses in
which the ATM is located, as well as the Primary SIC and Primary NAICS
codes of the business.
-- Address -- Complete geo-code including postal code, census
designations and latitude and longitude coordinates to allow for mapping
and other GIS applications.
-- Airport Code -- The three letter alpha code for an airport.
-- Availability -- Hours ATM location is open to public.
In total, these features, when integrated with applications and other
marketing data from Claritas, will allow users to:
-- Screen on a bank name to identify their network vs. the competition.
-- Associate the demographics and market segments (such as "Heavy ATM
Users") with the trade area and network of the ATM.
-- Identify pockets of opportunity for future ATM placement.
-- Ensure that a brand is reaching the best customers and prospects
through effective ATM placement.
-- Enhance channel marketing by selecting ATMs for feature upgrades and
personalization to increase customer satisfaction.
