The Challenge

cPort Credit Union faced significant issues with finding the right solution for everyone involved with their cash management services. Manual cash handling slowed operations, equipment was prone to breakdowns, and unreliable equipment created frustration for both staff and members.

“We encountered several challenges, such as manual cash handling slowing us down and equipment breakdowns from what we were able to find for cash management equipment. The continued issues created poor experiences from our members and staff prompting us to seek the right solution.”cPort Credit Union
