Velera Expands Co-op ATM Network Access with over 2,500 Installations at Speedway® Stores Nationwide

​Velera, the nation’s premier payments credit union service organization (CUSO) and an integrated financial technology solutions provider, today announced it is adding over 2,500 ATMs at select Speedway® locations, expanding its surcharge-free Co-op ATM Network to more than 37,000 machines nationwide.
 
The rollout will begin this month in partnership with FCTI, Inc. (FCTI), the U.S. ATM provider for 7-Eleven, Inc. and its family of brands, including 7-Eleven®, Speedway® and Stripes® stores. For over two decades, FCTI has supported the Co-op ATM Network, connecting credit union members to thousands of ATMs.
 
For participating credit unions, the expanded network offers more than just convenience – it streamlines operations, boosts member retention and drives revenue growth. Velera’s locator apps and customizable marketing tools make it easy for credit unions to highlight ATM locations and stay connected with members across physical and digital touchpoints.
 
“Our Co-op ATM Network – the largest issuer-owned surcharge-free network – is built on the credit union principle of ‘people helping people,’” said Velera Vice President of Network Growth Rob Goodwin. “As we continue to grow our footprint, we’re helping credit unions strengthen engagement and impact in their communities, while providing members with convenient access to cash when and where they need it.”
 
Even as digital payments continue to grow, cash remains an essential part of everyday banking. Velera’s 2025 Eye on Payments report finds that one in four credit union members uses an ATM weekly, primarily to withdraw cash (70%), followed by depositing cash (35%) and depositing checks (29%). The new ATMs at select Speedway® stores across the country will extend these services to even more communities, helping credit unions meet members’ needs wherever they live, work, travel or shop.
