First Bitcoin Capital Corp (BITCF) announced that Simple Automated Money, Inc. (SAMCO) will offer automated check-cashing kiosks through bitcoin ATMs in Northern California.

These web-enabled automated check-cashing kiosks by SAMCO will merge unique and exclusive check cashing capabilities to provide unbanked consumers with a fast and confidential check-cashing experience.

“Self-service check cashing kiosks with integrated Bitcoin ATM capability is another innovation in the company’s history of defining convenience for customers,” Bitcoin president, said.

BITCF has ordered S.A.M. Kiosks to integrate Bitcoin ATM into self-service check cashing kiosks nationwide, in a pilot test program. The pilot test is conducted by BITCF and the company is studying customer acceptance of the check cashing kiosks with 3 units in Northern California. The company looks forward to begin a national rollout later this year. During the pilot test, BITCF will provide discounted check-cashing services and will promote the new service through online advertising, in-store signs and special events.

BITCF has also announced that the development will begin to integrate bitcoin buy/sell capabilities throughout a nationwide network of 85 SAMCO kiosks now in place and growing. The company’s services include bitcoin ATM transactions, money orders and transfers as well as check cashing through touchscreen, bio-metric secure access.
