TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Credit Union 24 and Cardtronic's Allpoint Network have decided to renew their agreement that gives CUs access to Allpoint's nearly 50,000 machines through Credit Union 24′s CU Here Premium program.

Allpoint Network is an ATM network which is surcharge free to participant cardholders in exchange for a flat fee from the participant. The CU HERE Premium program is an offshoot of Credit Union 24′s CU HERE surcharge-free network.

"Considering today's economy and the need for American families to save money, credit union membership, including the benefits and access that the CU HERE Premium program and Credit Union 24′s point-of-sale network provide, are a viable and needed alternative to other financial institutions," explained Credit Union 24 CEO Jim Park.. "One of our stated goals when we started the CU HERE Premium program was to educate the general public that credit union membership is not limited to a certain few and that credit union membership can help provide the financial self-determination that we all seek."
