Alaska USA Federal Credit Union, a financial institution with $6.1 billion in assets and half a million members, has joined the Allpoint Network, expanding its existing relationship with Allpoint parent company Cardtronics. Alaska USA members will enjoy surcharge-free ATM access at 55,000 Cardtronics-owned and -operated ATMs throughout the United States.

According to a press release, the new Allpoint agreement marks the second time Alaska USA has teamed with Cardtronics to offer its members expanded offsite ATM access.

Last year, the credit union established an ATM branding relationship with Cardtronics covering approximately 200 Cardtronics-owned ATMs in many Walgreens, Safeway and other stores in Washington, as well as selected retailers in Arizona, California and Oregon.

In a separate agreement, Alaska USA contracted Cardtronics to manage the CU's offsite ATMs at 47 QFC stores in Washington and Oregon.

"The expansion of our relationship with Cardtronics is a testament to how valuable we have found its services to be in increasing our own brand recognition while ensuring that our cardholders have the most comprehensive ATM network — highlighted by surcharge-free access at their favorite retail locations," Alaska USA VP of electronic services Joel Swanson said in the press release.
