AMOCO Federal Credit Union has selected Dolphin Debit to manage its 19 ATMs.

 


While AMOCO FCU is one of Dolphin Debit’s newest clients, the 81-year-old Texas City-based credit union, with more than 90,000 members and over $1 billion in assets, has been working with Dolphin since late 2017.

“Before I was over ATMs, I never knew how much work went into them,” said Ashley Carner, chief operations officer at AMOCO FCU. “Machines constantly need attention and third-party maintenance and cash vendors need to be managed. They take a lot of staff time to manage when we should be spending that time serving our members.”

According to the company, AMOCO FCU looked into outsourcing its entire ATM fleet, with Carter stating, “Dolphin Debit gave us exactly what we were looking for.”

The SEG-based credit union deploys its ATMs at its 10 branches and at SEG partner sites, such as colleges and hospitals, the company said.

“We couldn’t be happier now,” Carner said. “I know someone else is always watching my ATMs. Dolphin Debit proactively reaches out to us, alerting us to any possible ATM problem before our members tell us. We’ve never had a partner do that for us, and it really improves the member experience.”

An ‘Easy Yes’

AMOCO FCU said it is now talking with a local community partner about adding another Dolphin-managed ATM.

“It is an easy ‘yes’ for me this time,” said Carner. “Before, I would have been adamantly opposed to managing another ATM. Now we just call Dolphin Debit.”Added Dolphin Debit Co-Founder Gary Walston, “Not everybody feels as strongly about their ATMs as Ashley Carner does, but managing them is still a major headache for so many credit unions. That is why we do what we do, to free o

Why Avoiding "I" in Marketing Presentations Matters

  Grant Sheehan, CCUE | CCUP | CEO NCOFCU  You know how things just stick with you? Well, many years ago, my marketing professor started off his class with the following, and it has never left me.  The Power of Perspective: Why Avoiding "I" in Marketing Presentations Matters In the world of marketing, effective communication is paramount. One valuable piece of advice that often comes from experienced instructors and industry veterans is the importance of avoiding the use of the word “I” in presentations and reports. At first glance, this may seem counterintuitive; after all, many individuals feel that personal anecdotes and experiences can enhance a message. However, upon deeper reflection, the reasoning behind this approach reveals itself as essential for achieving impactful communication. Building Objectivity When marketing professionals present their findings or insights, it’s important to establish credibility. Utilizing data, surveys, and feedback from cu...

Open Banking To Hit $94B By 2029—But U.S. Lags Amid Global Surge

NEW YORK—By 2029, open banking is projected to surge globally to a staggering $94.14 billion in value. Yet despite its rapid evolution and expanding global footprint, adoption remains uneven—hindered by inconsistent regulatory frameworks across countries. According to GlobalData, this disparity poses a key challenge for the sector’s success, with the U.S. notably trailing behind global peers in embracing open banking. The U.K. pioneered open banking and continues to be one of the leaders globally. The country has seen the number of users increasing, with there being 12.09 million active users of open banking in 2024 and 223.9 million payments made. This is an increase of 72% compared to the year before. “As open banking continues to flourish, it is positive to see that the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and Payment Systems Regulator (PSR) have outlined how open banking can expand further in the U.K., and also be used in variable recurring payments and e-commerce. With this move,...

Agencies Issue Exemption Order To Customer Identification Program (CIP) Requirements

WASHINGTON--The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of Comptroller of the Currency, and NCUA, with the concurrence of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, issued an order Friday granting an exemption from a requirement of the Customer Identification Program (CIP) Rule implementing Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act. The CIP Rule requires a bank or credit union to obtain taxpayer identification number (TIN) information from its customer before opening an account, and the exemption permits a bank or credit union to use an alternative collection method to obtain TIN information from a third-party rather than from the customer, the agencies stated in a joint release. The order applies to accounts at all entities supervised by the agencies. "Since the CIP Rule was issued initially in 2003, there has been a significant evolution in the ways consumers access financial services, along with a rise in reported customer reluctance to provide their full TIN due, in part, to...
