RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. – CO-OP Shared Branching yesterday stepped up its competition with Financial Services Centers Cooperative with its own self-service kiosks. CO-OP’s kiosks feature loan payments, withdrawals by checks, cash advances and other functions not available at a standard ATM. The introduction of the CO-OP Fast Branch comes just a few weeks after FSSC introduced its self-service kiosks in 2,000 7-Eleven convenience stores. The CO-OP Fast Branch was developed in partnership with Ensenta Corp. and NCR Corp., and is powered by Ensenta’s web-based EZ Admin back-office. The new machines will work on CO-OP’s existing shared branch platform. CO-OP Shared Branching is a subsidiary of CO-OP Financial Services, the credit union-owned electronic funds transfer network.
