MONEY TALK President’s Message
A. Scott MacKnight, CEO/President Happy New Year to you all! I am excited to share that Triangle Credit Union had a very successful 2022. While there were many accomplishments, I would like to focus on Community Involvement and Member Enhancements. After surviving a couple of bleak years with the pandemic, local events re-opened this year, and we were there! We sponsored several festivals including DerryFest, AppleFest, BrasilFest and the Nashua SummerFun Fairytale Festival. We supported several events such as Nashua’s Back to School, Wheels & Wings, Holiday Stroll, and Merrimack YMCA’s Trunk or Treat. Throughout the year, we participated in Make-A-Wish NH fundraisers and The Salvation Army Nashua Corps’ Angel Tree holiday drive. Overall, we sponsored over forty-five events through donation and volunteerism. I don’t share this information to brag, but to express appreciation to our team and to organizations within our community for the opportunity to help where and when we can.

WINTER 2023
If you have been inside our branches recently, you may have noticed our new Interactive Teller Machine (ITM). We have increased our fleet of ITMs as part of an effort to make transactions easier and more convenient. If you aren’t familiar with the convenience of an ITM, I encourage you to read our article, Triangle Expands ITM Fleet, in this edition and check out our video. As we go into the new year, our team will continue to focus on improving the member experience with strategic efficiencies in all areas; our goal, as always, is to make your experience the best it can be. On behalf of the Triangle Team, may you have a safe and prosperous 2023!

Triangle Expands Interactive Teller Machine (ITM) Fleet When Triangle Credit Union opened its Merrimack branch in December of 2019, with a focus on being a “technology” branch, we transitioned from traditional ATMs (automatic teller machine) to ITMs (interactive teller machine). Senior Vice President of Member Services, Lisa VanBiene, explains the decision, “As a credit union, we need to stay relevant, especially as it pertains to technology, always keeping the member experience and service top of mind. Members can do the usual ATM transactions utilizing an ITM however they have other options available to them such as requesting various denominations from a cash withdrawal or requesting on screen assistance from one of our representatives who can perform almost the exact same functions that a Teller would. We will soon be integrating the ITMs with our core banking system, allowing for even more self-sufficient capabilities for our members.” In 2022, Triangle expanded its fleet of ITMs by installing them in its other branch lobbies. VanBiene adds, “With member experience and service as a top priority, having the ITMs in our branch lobbies enables us to expose our members to the technology and educate them on the ITMs functionality. If a member visits a branch now, there is an option to go to the teller line or the ITM for self-service. Depending upon the time of day, the ITM may be quicker and more convenient.” For more information on how to use an ITM, visit trianglecu.org or scan this QR code to watch a video.
