What Pin4 does

Pin4 (legal name Pin4) is a private U.S. technology company founded in 2015 and headquartered in Chatham, that operates a global cardless ATM cash disbursement platform enabling organizations to push funds to recipients who then withdraw cash at participating ATMs using only a mobile phone and a secure PIN code, with no card or bank account required. The platform is delivered under three sub-brands: Pin4 Cash (global), Cash Pick-Up (United States, with 28,000+ dedicated U.S. ATMs), and HalCash (Spain, acquired in 2017). Pin4's technology stack is fully proprietary and PCI certified, comprising order entry APIs, ATM connectivity and disbursement authorization, a robust order management and reporting platform, and a global multicurrency engine; the company holds a registered patent on cardless mobile ATM technology and has operated in Europe for over a decade, processing millions of transactions representing hundreds of euros in disbursements.

The company serves a horizontal B2B customer base across five primary use cases: disaster and financial relief (government entities, charities, NGOs such as U.K. local councils, Caritas Espanola, and Ukrainian refugee support organizations); airline flight compensation; digital account withdrawals (digital wallets, gaming accounts, currency exchanges); consumer incentives and rebate programs (named customers include Michelin, Sony, and Orange); and P2P transfers including cross-border remittances. It supports approximately 50 relief organizations across the U.K. and Spain and is expanding into U.S. humanitarian financial aid through its November 2025 partnership with the PaaL (Payments as a Lifeline) coalition. Distribution is reached through direct enterprise field sales, API/white-label integration with platforms such as digital wallets and challenger banks, and a global physical cash-out network of more than 500,000 ATM and retail locations, including over 50,000 dedicated ATMs across the U.S., U.K., and Spain, with 3,000+ pre-positioned in Florida for disaster response.

Pin4 operates a transaction-fee revenue model: sending organizations pay per withdrawal order processed through Pin4's network, with additional breakage economics on consumer incentive programs where not all rewards are redeemed. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated per contract on a B2B basis. The company employs 1-10 people and is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds in the input data; its stated ambition is to build the world's first truly global cardless cash payout network.
