Euronet has not given up its hopes for a settlement center

Euronet which failed to take over Polcard has not abandoned its plans to set up, or purchase a settlement center. In this way the firm wants to become Polcard's most serious rival. GTech's acquisition of Polcard was a serious blow to Euronet. "The purchase of a settlement center would have be an excellent supplement to our offer, therefore we were very keen to purchase Polcard. If we fail to purchase a similar company in Poland, then we will be successful abroad," said Euronet's president Robert Konski. Currently, Euronet has 190 terminals in mobile phone operator Centertel's showrooms and plans to use this as a base to expand its market share. "This year we intend to install several thousands new terminals," said Konski. According to unofficial information, launching multi-purpose terminals for all kinds of operations will be one of the first decisions taken by Polcard's new i nvestor GTech. (Puls Biznesu, p. 7) A.Z.
