JACKSONVILLE, Fla., January 7, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Global Axcess Corp (OTC Bulletin Board: GAXC - News; the "Company"), an independent provider of self-service kiosk solutions, today announced that it has signed a new, 16-month contract valued at $16,000 per month, with a southeastern-based grocery store chain that will cover 72 ATM locations and upgrades the customer from an in-house processing system to a full-turnkey Global Axcess program. The Company expects to begin generating revenues from these services in the first quarter of 2010.

Mr. George McQuain, Chief Executive Officer of Global Axcess, stated, "This new client converted the ATM locations from in-house management to our outsourced solution. They recognized that our turnkey program will help them reduce their overhead costs and allow their managers to concentrate on customer service rather than managing ATMs. They appreciate our industry-leading position in customer service, ATM up-time and on-time residual payments. Re-staffing our sales organization during 2009 has led us to a strong sales pipeline and validates our investment in our sales and marketing capabilities as this win reflects. We believe there are substantial growth opportunities for us to grow our ATM network revenues organically.”
