Cash Service Provider Strike Causes Bottlenecks in Retail – HOTLINE Established!
The strike of a major cash service provider in the states of Brandenburg and Berlin is affecting both the banks, whose customers face empty ATMs, and retail stores, where there are shortages of coins for change.
This enormous demand for coins from Brandenburg and Berlin is being felt on ALVARA's online coin marketplace. Through the internet platform for coins, change can be ordered easily, securely, and quickly. “We have now set up a hotline for retailers, banks, and savings banks for inquiries,” explains Bernd Hohlfeld, CEO of ALVARA AG. This allows them to quickly understand the procedure. Thanks to the connection with DHL, nationwide delivery is possible, completely independent of the contract-bound cash service provider and within only 24 hours. This allows retailers to eliminate their coin shortages themselves and have satisfied customers again.
Banks and savings banks, which are currently being “flooded” with coins, can quickly bring change to retailers through the ALVARA coin marketplace.
