When it comes to getting cash fast, nothing beats the ATM!

With seemingly endless opportunities to pay for purchases online or with credit cards, it may seem like ATMs are machines of the past. Not so according to a recent study, which revealed that there are currently more than two million ATMs in service worldwide, and 300,000 to 400,000 ATMs in the U.S.

For members of Maine credit unions, accessing one these ATMs is easy- and surcharge free, thanks to the SURF ATM Network! SURF is a network of over 200 surcharge-free ATMs located throughout Maine! Credit union members can save at least an average of $300 a year on surcharge fees when using the SURF network- one of the largest ATM networks in the state! With the SURF network, ‘no fees’ means just that—there are no fees at your ATM, or anywhere else! In addition, a number of SURF ATM locations give thousands of Maine credit union members the ability to make deposits, surcharge-free.

Not only are ATMs unimpaired by technology such as smart phones- the two go hand in hand to make accessing surcharge-free ATMs even more convenient! A new iPhone app allows you to find surcharge-free ATMs in Maine from your current location! Map out vacation destinations and where to find cash. The iPhone app is free, and lists all SURF ATMs, contact info, mapping instructions and displays the new SURF mascot, SURF Dude. Visit the iTunes app store and download it today!
