The credit union owners of Cooperative Services Inc. will get their share of a $300,000 patronage refund, the payment services CUSO said.

The Duluth, Ga.-based CUSO said its transition to branch capture in last year coupled with collaborations with other states for image technology had significantly influenced savings. The CUSO sees EFT, network and shared branching activities as opportunities for growth in 2010 and beyond.

CSI provides payment services to more than 140 CUs.
