BETHESDA, Md. & TALAHASSEE, Fla., — Credit Union 24, the nationwide credit union owned ATM and EFT network that is headquartered in Florida and Allpoint Network, the nation's largest surcharge free ATM Network have both reported milestones since Allpoint became available to CUs through Credit Union 24.

Allpoint announced that it has reached 1,000 participating financial institutions, many of them credit unions, and offers surcharge free access to 32,000 ATMs nationwide. When the network got underway in 2003 it had 23,000 ATMs and a mere handful of clients.

Allpoint's pricing model does not surcharge ATM users from a given institution. Rather the network charges the institution a flat fee for surcharge free access based upon the institutions enrolled card base.

Meanwhile, Credit Union 24 announced the 130 credit unions have signed on for the CU HERE Premium program where they will be able to get access to Allpoint's network since the network launched it in December 2007. Credit unions have until the end of 2008 to opt into the program which is scheduled to go live on Feb. 6.
