“Kahuna” as a brand is about differentiation and standing apart in a mostly traditional banking world. Our company has been in the ATM industry since 1995, and we pride ourselves on being innovative and running counter to “business as usual”. Demographic studies have shown that 18-36 year olds are the most frequent ATM users, and “Kahuna” as a brand stands above the generic alternatives. Come surf with us….

Kahuna represents an entrepreneurial approach to life and business. It’s about adapting, mastering and even surfing the dynamic forces of change. Kahuna is leadership and partnership coupled to allow for successful relationships with clients, vendors and even peers.

Surfers by nature are independent and strong, but also recognize their position in a larger community. They take responsibility for themselves and their own. Kahuna Business Group is based on a cooperative affiliate model, which strives to allow each member individuality and autonomy while simultaneously strengthening the community that we all are part of.

At Kahuna Business Group, we have taken a different view on the ATM world than most. What separates us from others in this competitive marketplace is our unique company philosophy. Rather than spending our time and efforts supporting a direct sales force like traditional ISO’s, (which could ultimately end up competing with you), Kahuna Business Group is structured as the first true ATM cooperative. The volume and leverage of our Affiliate partners is pooled together and utilized to negotiate the best equipment pricing and processing rates on behalf of our partners. The net result is that our Affiliates receive the pricing and enhanced benefits of a much larger organization without the hassles and commitment of being direct with a manufacturer or processor. The “portability of transactions” and wide range of product offerings from Kahuna Business Group allows you to aggressively pursue new business with confidence.

Kahuna Business Group spends a great deal of time and travel researching opportunities and issues that affect the ATM world. We are then able to disseminate any relevant information to those who may not have access on their own, and serve as an advocate in the ATM community. Kahuna Business Group has a full-time administrative support staff eager to assist with all aspects of the ATM business. We have negotiated contracts with multiple processors and multiple equipment vendors. Our administrative team can quickly and efficiently solve all back-of-house needs, potentially saving our Affiliates thousands of dollars in reduced staffing requirements. In short, Kahuna Business Group is the single solution for all your ATM industry needs.

As a leader in the ATM industry, Kahuna is dedicated to working with individuals and companies that have established themselves in the industry. We are looking for great companies to partner with to improve their results as part of our win-win philosophy. To become a Kahuna Affiliate, we require a committed sales organization with demonstrated experience and integrity in the industry along with a solid plan for the future. So first, review our site. There is a tremendous amount of helpful information here that tells you about who we are, what we do, how we do it, and most of all . . . how we can help YOU!

Like the surf itself, processing is a complex and ever changing environment. With Kahuna Business Group, you have the leverage of many as well as true “portability of transactions”. Affiliates can take advantage of the best our partner processors have to offer, utilizing their particular strengths as situations merit. Choosing just one option may not allow you maximum freedom and flexibility down the line. With Kahuna Business Group’s leverage, Affiliates have access to the very best in equipment, processing and ancillary services, all aimed at increasing your business opportunities.

There are several advantages to working with Kahuna. Regardless of the size of your business, you can leverage the volume of our affiliate network in order to obtain the best equipment and processing costs. In addition, you can leverage the relationships with all of our vendor partners, expanding your network to include three of the key equipment manufacturers and five processors in the industry. Bottom line, you have a staff on hand at Kahuna that is working for you, allowing you to concentrate on what is important: prospecting, selling and maintaining the relationships with your current clients.

Most processors require volume commitments, and in many cases will bill you for transactions that you do not perform. This can be EXTREMELY costly. One processing agreement with Kahuna takes your transactions to any one of our five processors. You can process with who you like, when you want and will never be stuck in a bad relationship. We call this portability of transactions.

If you are in the industry and do not take Network compliance seriously you need to immediately. Compliance reflects your right to operate. We know sales organizations and operators in the ATM industry who have literally gone bankrupt from fines, penalties or liabilities. We never want to see the sweat equity of a hard working client organization be swept away by circumstantial misfortunes of compliance. If you are not currently part of a group or bank sponsor who communicates with you and helps you ensure all of your accounts and contracts are underwritten in accordance with each and every Network rule or government law, contact Kahuna today.
