From checking balances to paying bills, ATMs offer convenience, flexibility, and access almost anywhere you travel. ACC’s Student Money Management Office and UFCU share how to get the most out of your ATM experience and how to keep your transactions safe.
A Message from University Federal Credit Union
Everyone knows ATMs are a quick and convenient way to withdraw cash. But did you know you can do more? Many ATMs allow you to check your balances, deposit cash or checks, transfer funds between accounts, pay some bills, and make credit card payments.
Your Cash Your Way
When you withdraw cash at an ATM, you’ll have options for the types of bills you can pull out. These can vary among banking institutions and ATMs. When you use a UFCU ATM, you’re not limited to $20 bills. UFCU allows Members to choose to receive their cash in a variety of denominations, including $1, $5, $10, or $20 options.
Convenience
Whether out and about around town or traveling, you can find an ATM that allows you to access your accounts. For UFCU members, there are more than 500 fee-free ATMs in its network. You also can use ATMs that are part of the shared branch network — a nationwide cooperative of credit unions that offer banking services to each other’s Members. Most ATMs at shared branch networks will not charge an additional surcharge, but you may experience a small fee for using ATMs that are not within your bank’s network. Whenever you visit any ATM, keep these safety tips in mind.
Check out ATM Locations before you head our way to confirm the available services at your preferred branch, including whether the ATM accepts deposits.
