What about ATMs?

ATMs help to make our lives easier. Understanding them should be easy, too.
Here’s what you need to know:

There’s Visions, the CO-OP Network, and "Everyone Else"

  • Visions ATMs: Owned and operated by Visions, you can use these as often as you’d like without incurring any fees
  • CO-OP Network ATMs: Identifiable by their CO-OP logo, these ATMs are part of our nationwide, fee-free network
  • Other ATMs: Available worldwide, allowing you to access your Visions account wherever you are

Daily Cash Limits

  • Visions ATMs: Take out up to $500 at a time, up to $1,000 per day
  • CO-OP Network and Other ATMs: Withdrawal limits and frequency are set by the network, participating financial institution, and/or ATM owner

Fees for ATM Use

  • Visions and CO-OP Network ATMs: Use as often as you’d like – free of charge!
  • Other ATMs: Visions doesn't charge our members ATM fees, even if you use another company's ATM. Please note, however, that you may be charged a separate transaction fee by the ATM operator and network.

Finding ATMs

While ATMs are everywhere, we’ve made finding a Visions or CO-OP ATM easy. Just select “Locations” from the Visions FCU Mobile app, or check out our locations search feature.

Going out of town? It’s no problem with Shared Branching.

Bank without boundaries with the Credit Union Shared Network

There are dozens of reasons to love your credit union account – great rates, low fees, local service – but sometimes life will take you places where we don’t have an office. That’s where the Co-Op Shared Branching Network comes in. With Shared Branching, you can access your Visions account nationwide – free of charge.

Here’s how it works:

Let’s say you’re out of town and can’t find a Visions location. You walk into a participating credit union with a different name, tell them you’re a Visions member (with valid ID and account number), and you perform the same transactions you would at any dedicated Visions branch.

With Shared Branching, you can:

  • Deposit and withdraw cash
  • Transfer between accounts
  • Deposit checks
  • Purchase official checks and money orders

With over 30,000 ATMs and more than 5,000 branches available nationwide, finding a location is easy.

Just search:

Long Island and NYC

In New York City and Long Island in particular, there are several shared credit unions: Bethpage FCU, Teachers FCU, and Justice FCU.

  • Cooperative Principles: Membership and Participation

    Members are the owners of the credit union and contribute to its capital. Members, not shareholders, benefit from their credit union’s profits in proportion to their relationship and use of its products and services. As voluntary, not-for-profit financial cooperatives, we offer services to people willing to accept the responsibilities and benefits of membership, without discrimination.
