Reflections on the summer’s war

Where are those 30,000 ATMs?
Last year the Georgetown University Alumni & Student Federal Credit Union joined the AllPoint ATM network in response to the results of a customer survey. None of the estimated 30,000 ATMs however, are closer than four blocks from campus. The new ATMs are in various convenience stores and businesses around the country. Any service charge is reimbursed electronically by the network. The nearest to campus are located in Tara Salon & Spa at the bottom of M Street and in Georgetown Auto on Wisconsin Avenue. “It’s kind of the outside perimeter,” Chief Information Officer Cyril Vergis said of the new ATMs. He hopes to eventually have closer machines, such as on M St. and Wisconsin. “We’re trying to work our way into that grid,” he said. GUASFCU charges $.75 for the use of non-member ATMs.
