What is an ITM?
An Interactive Teller Machine (ITM) combines the ease of self-service ATMs with the benefits of personalized banking. This innovative technology offers an enhanced ATM experience and the ability to perform your everyday transactions with a local Belco team member via two-way video at the drive-thru or in a branch, just as you would with a teller. You can complete many transactions on your own, or if you like, a Belco employee located at our Operations Center in Harrisburg, PA will assist you virtually.
ITMs allow for virtual personal assistance or self-service, the choice is yours. 95% of typical teller transactions can be done on an ITM, including:
- Check Deposits
- Balance Inquiries
- Account Withdrawals
- Funds Transfers
- Loan Payments
Access your account securely using your Belco debit/ATM card. With the addition of ITMs, you will be able to receive more time and consultative services in-branch, putting you in control of your financial journey and service experience.

During the ATM transaction, if you would like assistance, you have the option of speaking with a representative at any time.
