We believe that a part of Belonging is providing easy access to safe, secure, leading edge, and technologically relevant services. As a people-first credit union, we’re always looking for ways to push the envelope of what banking looks like.
You may have noticed that the drive-thru experience at some of our new orsa credit union branches looks a little different. (And there’s more where that came from coming soon!) So, without further ado…
Let’s break down this alphabet soup…
ITM stands for Interactive Teller Machine. And if you didn’t know, ATM stands for Automated Teller Machine.
An ATM allows customers to perform a variety of tasks, from deposits to withdrawals, transfers, and much more. ITMs bring together all these services with a human touch. These machines have the option to connect you with a teller via video chat. That’s right! A real person, a Michigan-based orsa team member, not some automated program that tends to be more frustrating than helpful.
After you pull up to the ITM in the drive-thru, the machine will give you two options:
Plus, if you find yourself wanting to ask a question during an ATM transaction, you can connect with a team member anytime. Just press the “Help” button located on the screen. Our team members are ready and happy to help!
All it takes is a couple of taps to chat with a real person—not a faceless machine, not AI—a Michigan-based orsa team member who knows our services in and out.
Whether it’s a brisk Michigan morning, you’re chauffeuring your kids, or you’re really short on time, there’s no need to get out of your car to speak with one of our team members! Using an ITM will cut down on the time you spend—no more waiting in long lines or even walking to and from the branch doors.
Have a simple banking question? Need to tackle something complex? Our ITM team members are ready and happy to assist you with all the services you’re used to inside our branches!
ITMs allow for a type of flexibility in banking that people couldn’t have imagined even 20 years ago. It’s part of how we’re walking with you towards building a better financial future and igniting your wild dreams. Find ITMs at our Gaylord, Novi, Detroit and West Bloomfield branches. More locations coming soon—stay tuned!
