STOCKTON, Calif.-Premier Community CU is piloting a new ATM developed by Diebold and CO-OP Financial Services that provides members with access to other CU accounts or subaccounts, such as CDs and IRAs, as well as checking and savings.
Diebold is installing two new Opteva ATMs featuring the CO-OP NextGen ATM shared branching solution at Premier Community's new Lodi, Calif., branch. Standard ATMs normally can only access accounts linked to an ATM/debit card, which limits most transactions to checking and savings accounts.
With the introduction of the CO-OP NextGen ATM solution, Premier Community is one of the first credit unions to fully deploy shared branching at the ATM. While Premier Community's shared branch ATMs are new terminals, credit unions can add shared branching to existing Diebold Opteva ATMs.
Premier Community said it also is enhancing security and efficiency at its Lodi branch with a Diebold Express Cash Recycler. The company said its teller automation solution, which accepts cash, verifies note authenticity, sorts notes by denomination and reuses them for withdrawals, is shared between the branch's two counterless teller stations. Within the branch's open environment, the recycler also serves a security role, storing cash securely at the point of transaction, Diebold said.
