British supermarket group Sainsbury’s (SBRY.L), opens new tab said it has sold its cash machine operation in a further move to simplify its banking business and reduce costs.

Sainsbury’s announced a phased withdrawal from its core banking business in January and in June struck a deal to sell most of its banking operation to NatWest (NWG.L), opens new tab, though it retained its commission-income businesses, including insurance, travel money and its automated teller machines (ATMs), or cash machines.

Britain’s second largest grocer after Tesco said on Wednesday the ATM business, comprising 1,370 cash machines, has been sold to NoteMachine, which is owned by Brink’s and is one of the UK’s biggest ATM operators.

The deal, expected to complete in May 2025, will see all ATMs remaining open and in position at their existing sites, while Sainsbury’s and NoteMachine will share commission.

Financial details of the deal were not disclosed.

In February, Sainsbury’s said it was seeking a further 1 billion pounds ($1.34 billion) of operating cost savings over the next three years to fuel investment in its core food offer.
