Company's Subsidiary, Nationwide Money, Expanded Existing
Key Customer Relationships and Signed New Bank Partner In August

PONTE VEDRA, Fla., Sept. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Global Axcess Corp. (BB:GLXS), one of the nation's only fully integrated, one- stop sources for ATM solutions, today announced that Nationwide Money, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, reported that its Branded Cash Program continued to experience accelerated growth in August.

Specifically, the Company reported:

* Four existing Branded Cash Program partners increased the number of ATMs deployed under the program in their service areas -- Monarch Bank (Virginia), Rockingham Heritage Bank (Virginia), Bank of McKenney (Virginia) and Lumbee Guaranty Bank (North Carolina);

* The Marathon Bank (Virginia) was signed as Nationwide's newest Branded Cash Program partner;

* Bank of Clarke County, serving northwestern Virginia and the first Bank to enter the program in 1997, extended the term of their partnership with Nationwide Money under the Branded Cash Program two additional years;

* Bank of McKenney serving southwestern Virginia extended the term of their partnership with the Company under the Program for three additional years; and

* Mechanics and Farmers Bank (North Carolina), which brands the most Nationwide Money ATM under the program, extended the term of their partnership with the Company for three additional years.

The Company's Branded Cash Program is a turnkey ATM network solution, owned and managed by Nationwide Money, that is marketed to credit unions, community banks, and regional financial institutions. By partnering with Nationwide Money, a financial institution is empowered with the ability to broaden its market area, offer its customers free ATM access and promote its own corporate identity among consumers in the markets they serve -- all at a fraction of the cost of what it would require if they owned, operated and supported their own ATM network.
