About FCTI, Inc.

FCTI, Inc. is an independent provider of automated teller machines (ATMs) and ATM-related financial technology services across the United States. The company focuses on advanced ATM placements, operations, and in‑transaction advertising solutions for banks, credit unions, retailers, and brands, and it operates thousands of machines in high‑traffic retail locations such as convenience stores and gas stations. FCTI is a wholly owned subsidiary of Seven Bank, Ltd. of Japan, and leverages its parent’s expertise to expand ATM services and consumer cash access in the U.S. market.

A charge or descriptor like “USBFCTICHAR” on a card or bank statement usually indicates that you used an ATM operated by FCTI and processed through U.S. Bank’s network, often at a convenience store or other non‑bank location. The amount may represent a cash withdrawal, an associated surcharge, or a balance inquiry/denied transaction fee. In some cases, you might see multiple related line items—such as the withdrawal amount plus a separate surcharge—or a temporary pending amount that later adjusts when the transaction finalizes.

If you don’t recognize this charge, first match the date and amount with any recent cash withdrawals, especially at 7‑Eleven or other retail ATMs. Check your ATM receipt if you kept it, or your bank’s mobile/online banking for the ATM’s location details. If something appears incorrect, contact your bank or card issuer promptly to dispute the transaction; they control your account and can initiate investigations and provisional credits. You can also contact FCTI’s customer service via their website for ATM-specific issues (such as cash dispensed errors or failed receipts), but any formal dispute over charges must go through your financial institution.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the USBFCTICHAR charge on my bank statement mean?

USBFCTICHAR is a transaction descriptor indicating an ATM transaction processed through U.S. Bank’s network on an ATM operated by FCTI, Inc. It most commonly represents a cash withdrawal and possibly a related surcharge from a retail-location ATM such as at a convenience store or gas station.

Why do I see both a withdrawal amount and a separate small fee from FCTI on the same day?

Many FCTI-operated ATMs assess a surcharge that’s processed as a separate line item from the withdrawal itself. Your statement may therefore show the main cash withdrawal plus an additional fee (often a few dollars) labeled with a descriptor like USBFCTICHAR or clearly indicating an ATM surcharge.

Can FCTI reverse an ATM fee that I was charged?

FCTI typically cannot directly reverse fees on your account because it does not hold your funds or manage your bank account. To request a fee refund, you must contact your bank or card issuer; they may in turn work with FCTI if the fee was charged incorrectly or if there was an ATM malfunction.

What should I do if an FCTI ATM debited my account but did not dispense cash?

Immediately note the time, location, and amount of the attempted withdrawal, keep any on-screen error messages or receipts if available, and contact your bank or card issuer to open a dispute. Your bank will investigate the transaction with the ATM operator (FCTI) and may issue a provisional credit while the matter is resolved.

Are there common transaction amounts associated with FCTI ATM charges?

Typical FCTI ATM charges include the cash withdrawal amount (often in round figures like $20, $40, $60, etc.) plus a surcharge that may range from a couple of dollars to higher amounts depending on the location. The surcharge will usually be disclosed on-screen at the ATM before you confirm the transaction.

Why do I see a pending USBFCTICHAR charge that later changes or disappears?

ATM transactions may first appear as pending authorizations while your bank and the ATM network finalize the transaction. Once settlement completes, the pending entry may drop off and be replaced with the final posted withdrawal and any applicable surcharge, which can make earlier temporary amounts disappear or change.

How can I contact someone about a problem with an FCTI ATM transaction?

For any issue affecting your account balance or card, your primary contact should be your bank or card issuer, since they manage your funds and can file disputes. You can also visit FCTI’s official website (fcti.com) to find customer support information for reporting ATM malfunctions or providing details your bank may request during an investigation.

How can I avoid unexpected FCTI ATM fees in the future?

When using an FCTI ATM, carefully review the on-screen fee disclosure before confirming your transaction; if the surcharge is higher than you expect, you can cancel the transaction at that point. Additionally, check whether your bank has fee‑refund policies or surcharge‑free ATM networks that may include or exclude specific FCTI locations.
