BankNewport Expands Fee-Free ATM Access into Walgreens Stores in Rhode Island

BankNewport announced today the addition of 26 fee-free ATMs to its network — all of them conveniently located in select Walgreens drugstores throughout Rhode Island. 

This fee-free ATM expansion significantly broadens the Bank’s overall ATM network to 40 locations in Rhode Island, including all BankNewport branches and Walgreens drugstore locations in Bristol, Coventry, Cranston, East Greenwich, East Providence, Johnston, Middletown, North Providence, Pawtucket, Providence, Richmond, Warwick, West Warwick, and Woonsocket. Convenient fee-free ATM access for BankNewport cardholders at these select Walgreens locations is made possible by a partnership with Cardtronics, provider of comprehensive ATM services to the nation's largest drugstore chain. 

BankNewport customers can use the ATMs free during Walgreens store hours, including those open 24 hours a day.  In addition to cash withdrawals, customers can transfer money and check balances on savings and checking accounts. Bank customers using the machines will benefit from the same strong security measures that are built into all BankNewport ATMs with the added convenience of account access at stores that are already part of their day-to-day routine.

“BankNewport is always looking for innovative ways to make banking easier and more convenient for our customers,” said BankNewport Executive Vice President, Community Banking, Robert Maddock.  “The Walgreens-based ATMs are a great way for us to expand our services to customers who rely on the use of debit or ATM cards to access their money wherever they may be throughout our state.”
