Service One CU Selects Dolphin Debit to Manage Its ATMs

BOWLING GREEN, Ky.–Service One Credit Union has turned over management of its ATM fleet to Dolphin Debit, saying the move will improve members’ access to their money at all times.

Service One

The $277.5-million credit union, which has more than 16,000 members, said the move includes the replacement of six existing ATMs.

Service One decided in 2022 on a new ATM strategy, according to Michelle Dyer, SVP/COO. The top priorities were reduced ATM downtime, improved member service, and cost savings, she said, noting that “ATMs are very important to our members having access to their funds during off hours and on weekends. This helps us to provide a better member experience.”

Dyer added that prior to the decision to work with Dolphin Debit, “We considered other vendors, and decided that Dolphin offered the options that worked best for us.”

According to the company, since the credit union started working with Dolphin Debit, not only has the credit union achieved its reduced downtime objective, it has welcomed Dolphin’s attentive client service.

“Dolphin has been responsive and willing to work with us on any issues,” Dyer said. “And we do like the available reporting.” 

Added Joe Woods, SVP-marketing and partnerships with Dolphin Debit, “Outsourcing ATM management has worked well for Service One as it has for so many other credit unions. Turning that over to Dolphin Debit allows these institutions to focus on more strategic concerns, leaving the day to day fleet management to us.”

How To Make Decisions With Conviction—Even Under Pressure

Why strong leaders act when others hesitate — and how to develop that confidence without needing every answer. I’ve watched smart, experienced leaders freeze. And I’ve been in that same position myself. It’s not because we lack information, but because we don’t feel ready to choose. Leaders often get stuck because they’re waiting for the perfect moment to act. They’re thinking through the consequences, weighing the trade-offs, trying to get it right. But the longer they wait, the harder it becomes to move at all. The truth is that the worst decision isn’t always the wrong one. It’s the one you never make. If you’re in a leadership role, you don’t always get the luxury of knowing. You have to move anyway. Not recklessly, not blindly, but with clarity, purpose and conviction. In high-pressure moments, the gap between average leaders and great ones gets exposed. It’s not a gap in intelligence or experience. It’s a gap in decisiveness. Because conviction doesn’t mean certainty—it means mak...

Fed Kicks Off Two-Days of Meetings Today as Critics, Proponents Respond to Rate Increases; Plus, What CUs Should Expect

CUToday WASHINGTON–The Federal Reserve’s Open Market Committee (FOMC) will kick off two days of meetings today and the decision they announce tomorrow will affect everything from the major U.S. markets to credit unions that are seeing strong loan growth to individual credit union members struggling with monthly bills. The FOMC is widely expected to again raise its benchmark rate as it seeks to cool raging inflation. Among those expecting rates to be higher by Wednesday afternoon is CUNA’s chief economist, Mike Schenk, who expects the Fed will push up rates by 75 basis points. That follows the full one percentage point increase made during the Fed’s July meeting. “That’s pretty substantial, but inflation is over 9%,” said Schenk...
