text: In 2000, Euronet Worldwide focused on providing ways people can access their financial accounts and transactions 
  
  through various electronic touchpoints. New secure transaction types and touchpoints—ATMs, point-of-sale (POS) 
  
  devices, the Internet and mobile phones—continued to fuel transaction growth every month. In 2000, we processed a 
  
  record 52.7 million billable transactions, a 60% increase over 1999, and in December 2000, our transaction levels 
  
  exceeded 5 million per month and continue to accelerate.
