First Source FCU expands Herkimer branch

HERKIMER — First Source Federal Credit Union (FCU) announced it has recently expanded its Herkimer branch.

A new office was constructed inside the Herkimer branch and a freestanding drive-thru ATM, plus additional parking, was added behind the branch.

“Our Herkimer location handles the second largest volume behind our corporate office in New Hartford,” Mike Parsons, president and CEO of First Source FCU, said in a news release. “Expansion was imperative to alleviate some of the congestion in the drive-thru area as well as offer additional private office space for members to meet with branch staff to discuss their financial needs. As our member-base grows, especially in the Valley, we adapt to meet their changing needs.”

The new ATM offers updated deposit features. Customers can make deposits at the ATM without envelopes. Cash and checks can be deposited together without the need to separate, straighten, or face the bills and checks. The machine will read them and tally the total, and then the user can verify the math before finalizing the transaction, according to the news release.

Customers will be able to deposit 50 items in one session. Other benefits include two-sided receipts and check images printed right on the receipt.

The original branch ATM lane was converted into a drive-thru lane with teller service as of July 1, the release stated.

New Hartford–based First Source FCU serves more than 35,000 members with current branches in New Hartford, South Utica, North Utica, Herkimer, and Rome.
