“Anyone in the industry will tell you that convenience is king for individual members,” said Dan Rousseve, senior vice president and chief information officer for TCU. “And, while many aspects of convenience are moving online, our 250,000 members are telling us that ATMs are still as important today as they ever have been. Through our partnership with CO-OP, we’re laying the groundwork for future growth through expanded member services and convenience. It’s this sort of attention to member wants and desires that has contributed to our stature as Indiana’s largest credit union.
