Denali Alaskan Federal Credit Union launches upgraded ATM network

November 16, 2004

MAYNARD, Mass. -Anchorage, Alaska-based Denali Alaskan Federal Credit Union has chosen Stratus Technologies' server systems to help develop an array of ATM network services, such as dispensing stamps and providing account mini-statements, according to a news release.

The Stratus ftServer W Series 3300 systems, which runs on Mosaic Software's Postilion ATM/EFT software, supports Denali Alaskan's 36 ATMs as part of an end-to-end solution provided by Diebold Inc., the release noted.

Denali Alaskan agreed to use Stratus because of its constant up-time record and because Denali Alaskan would not have to modify the Mosaic software to run on the ftServer system, the release stated.

"The Stratus ftServer system was the better choice because people have zero tolerance for unavailable ATMs, and we have zero tolerance for things that make customers unhappy," said John Layton, Denali Alaskan's assistant vice president of payment systems, in the release.

In addition to stamps and account mini-statements, Denali Alaskan also is deploying on-screen advertising and immediately posting deposited checks to make the funds available to customers on the spot, the release added. The platform lets Denali set up and configure ATMs and add new services through a point-and-click graphical interface.

"Banking is as much about good faith and trust as it is processing transactions," said Philip Izzo, Stratus director of business development, financial services at Stratus Technologies. "Our platform will give Denali Alaskan's customers constant access to transactions at the same time this innovative credit union expands its services portfolio."
