PremierWest has reported that the Coinstar coin-counting kiosks installed in the bank lobby at select PremierWest Bank locations will make it easy for customers to turn their coins into cash. Users simply pour their loose, unsorted change into the kiosk tray, and the machine automatically counts the change. When completed, a voucher is dispensed that the customer brings to a teller window to receive the full coin value in the form of currency, or deposit into their account. This service will be free to PremierWest Bank consumers and non-customers will pay a service fee of 8% if they elect not to open an account.

Jim Ford, president of PremierWest Bank, said: Our customers have been asking for a coin-counting service for years and technology has finally allowed us to fulfill their request. These coin-counting kiosks will provide another convenient service to both consumer and business customers throughout our territory.
