  • Removal of Hamilton Health Sciences Atms
    Removal of Hamilton Health Sciences ATMs HMECU is pleased to have provided ATM services at Hamilton Health Sciences locations for many years. Unfortunately, Hamilton Health Sciences has decided to terminate the ATM services agreement with HMECU. As a result, HMECU will be removing all of the HMECU branded ATMs located within Hamilton Health Sciences between September 17th and September 20th. An ATM contract has been awarded to another vendor who will be replacing our machines, however, HMECU is not aware of when the new ATMs will be installed. For more information, please contact Hamilton Health Sciences by emailing [email protected]. What does this mean for HMECU members? There will still be ATMs in each of the locations, however, the ATMs are not credit union ATM machines, nor are they part of THE EXCHANGE® Network. Because the replacement ATM machines are not part of THE EXCHANGE Network, there will be a $1.50 surcharge to use any of the newly deployed machines. Due to Interac® regulations, there is no possible way for members to avoid paying this fee when they use the new ATMs. If you would like to review and discuss your HMECU service charge package, please call your branch directly, or email [email protected]. HHSC Locations and Alternative ATMs Listed below are the addresses of the HHSC locations where HMECU ATMs are being removed. Also listed are some nearby locations of ATMs on THE EXCHANGE Network where you can withdrawal funds ding free®.
