Freedom Launches ATMs in Rite Aid Pharmacies in Western Mass.

SPRINGFIELD — Freedom Credit Union and Welch ATM announced that Freedom Credit Union-branded ATMs are now available in Rite Aid pharmacies in Agawam, Chicopee, Easthampton, Holyoke, Lee, Monson, Pittsfield, Southwick, Springfield, West Springfield, and Westfield.

Freedom will also provide its members with surcharge-free access to all 224 Rite Aid pharmacy locations in Massachusetts and Connecticut. In addition to custom branding, Welch ATM is providing new, fully compliant ATM machines and complete management.

“We are excited to provide Freedom Credit Union with ATM branding at Rite Aids in Massachusetts,” said Adam Hobelmann, senior vice president at Welch ATM. “Our company strives to provide customer satisfaction, and we look forward to offering easy cash access and consistent ATM service to Freedom Credit Union’s members.”

Over the past 11 years, Freedom Credit Union has grown from one branch to 10. The newest branch opened in September in the Roger L. Putnam Vocational Technical Academy on State Street in Springfield. The addition of the Rite Aid ATM locations enhances the credit union’s mission to expand its services for the benefit of its membership.

According to Barry Crosby, president and CEO of Freedom Credit Union, “our partnership with Welch ATM and Rite Aid enhances our mission to provide services that better serve our growing membership. We take pride when we can offer our members a terrific benefit such as this.”
