Vcom machines, which are proprietary to the 7-Eleven network operator Cardtronics, provide customers with financial services, including conducting ATM transactions, cashing checks and money transfers. The kiosks use check imaging technology for deposits, allowing users to insert checks directly into the machine without an envelope and receive an image of the check on their receipts.

“CO-OP’s two-and-a-half year partnership with 7-Eleven and Cardtronics provides our members surcharge-free ATM access at 5,500 stores throughout the U.S., which already

includes the Vcom kiosks,” said Stan Hollen, CO-OP Financial Services president/CEO. “This new facet of our relationship is a real coup for the credit union industry. We’re able to give our members’ cardholders a competitive edge in the marketplace with more than 2,200 new 7-Eleven deposit locations and 9,000 deposit locations nationwide.

“If a member needs to make a check deposit, they can add 7-Eleven to their list of places they know they can stop.  The ease of being able to make a deposit or get cash, then grab

coffee or the paper all in one place, meets the needs of our always-on-the-go society.” 7-Eleven, based in Dallas, Texas, is the largest chain in the convenience retailing industry, with 7,500 stores in North America. The deposit-taking Vcom machines are located in Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Maryland, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Washington.
