Make Teller Transactions with an ITM
Complete nearly every type of teller transaction using our interactive teller machine (ITM) in the drive-up at most of our bank locations.
What is an ITM?
ITM or Interactive Teller Machine, is an ATM with video and audio interface capabilities. They give you the option of having a face-to-face transaction with an actual First Citizens Bank employee. All Live Tellers are working from our Contact Center in Mason City, IA.
What type of transactions can be completed using the ITM?
- Cash checks
- Withdrawals
- Deposits (no envelope or deposit slip needed)
- Transfers
- Regular scheduled monthly loan payments
- Check balances
Note: An ITM can dispense currency of the following denominations: $50, $20, $5, and $1. It will dispense the fewest amount of bills possible. However, the teller can change the number of each denomination being dispensed, based on your request. Tellers can also dispense up to 99 cents, including quarters, nickels, and pennies. Coin cannot be exchanged after it is dispensed (ITM will not accept change for deposit).
