Greater New Orleans FCU has selected Dolphin Debit to manage its fleet of ATMs.

NEW ORLEANS
Greater New Orleans FCU has been managing its own ATMs, but was seeing increasing service delays with its previous provider, according to the company.

“It was definitely all about service,” explained Heather Rodgers, chief operating officer for the credit union. “Repair times are critical to get a machine up as soon as possible. Now, if a machine goes down Dolphin informs us before we even realize it, and has technicians on the way.”

Greater New Orleans FCU has ATMs at each of its three branches, and is in the process of adding a drive-up machine at its busiest branch, in addition to the walk-up machine already in place. ATMs are an important part of the credit union’s member service strategy, as GNOFCU serves a large number of special employee groups, as well as the local underserved population as a CDFI, noted CEO Shelley Sanders.

Can’t Have Long Lines

“We are a shared branch credit union, so we service other credit unions,” Sanders said. “Our members need these ATMs to easily access cash and not wait in long lines.”

Before selecting Dolphin Debit, the credit union said it evaluated other service providers, putting a lot of weight on the recommendations of other credit unions. As Sanders noted, “Dolphin Debit was the one company recommended by everyone I reached out to.”

According to the company, the switch has gone smoothly and improved ATM uptime and maintenance.

“A credit union’s ATMs are vitally important touchpoints for members,” said Joe Woods, SVP-marketing and strategic partnerships for Dolphin Debit. “Keeping machines available and in service is critical, and when there are problems, response has to be immediate. That is our specialty.”

Vought: ‘We’re Closing Down The CFPB’ — White House Budget Chief Says Agency Will Shut Down Within Months

  10/16/2025 09:03 am         WASHINGTON—White House Budget Director Russell Vought said Wednesday he plans to shut down the CFPB, PYMNTS reported. Russell Vought Speaking on  The Charlie Kirk Show , Vought said only a handful of employees remain at the CFPB’s Washington headquarters “while we close down the agency,” adding that he expects the process to be completed “within the next two or three months.” Vought’s remarks come amid a series of legal challenges targeting the Administration’s attempts to scale back or dismantle the CFPB. The Administration is currently facing lawsuits from a CFPB labor union and consumer advocacy groups, which argue that Trump lacks the authority to dismiss most of the Bureau’s staff or eliminate the agency altogether. On Wednesday, Vought repeated long-standing Republican criticisms that the CFPB has exceeded its authority and imposed unfair burdens on smaller financial institutions, PYMNTS noted. “All they want to do is wea...

Understanding the Fed’s Balance Sheet

Chair Jerome H. Powell Monetary policy is more effective when the public understands what the Federal Reserve does and why. With that in mind, I hope to enhance understanding of one of the more arcane and technical aspects of monetary policy: the Federal Reserve's balance sheet. A colleague recently compared this topic to a trip to the dentist, but that comparison may be unfair—to dentists. 1 Today, I will discuss the essential role our balance sheet played during the pandemic, along with some lessons learned. I will then review our ample reserves implementation framework and the progress we have made toward normalizing the size of our balance sheet. I will conclude with some brief remarks on the economic outlook. Background on the Fed's Balance Sheet One of the primary purposes of a central bank is to provide the monetary foundation for the financial system and the broader economy. This foundation is made of central bank liabilities. On the Fed's balance sheet, the liabili...
