THE EXCHANGE® and ACCULINK® networks

Members traveling across Canada can easily find surcharge-free ATMs on THE EXCHANGE® and ACCULINK® networks. If you’re traveling in Atlantic Canada, Ontario or British Columbia, please see THE EXCHANGE® information below, and if you’re traveling in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, additional ATMs can be located by referring to the ACCULINK® network information. Together, these two networks offer members over 3,200 surcharge-free ATMs across Canada.

The ACCULINK® ATM network

Canadian credit unions belong to the Cooperative EFT Development Association (CEDA) and participate in the ACCULINK® ATM network. ACCULINK® is the brand name for the credit union system’s exclusive surcharge-free ATM service, which connects and supports over 1,800 credit union ATMs, more than 380 credit unions and over 5,000,000 members.

This network provides members with numerous services without having to worry about paying additional fees (standard account fees still apply), including:

  • Withdrawals up to the maximum daily amount as specified by the member’s credit union at all full-function ATMs and cash dispensers
  • Deposits, including cash, cheques and other negotiable instruments to your accounts at all full-service ATMs
  • Personal identification number (PIN) changes at all chip-enabled ATMs
  • Transfer funds between accounts at all full-service ATMs and those that do not accept deposits
