Banking shouldn’t slow you down, especially in autumn, when days get shorter, harvest schedules ramp up, and everyone’s juggling holiday plans or farm chores. That’s why Ergo Bank’s Interactive Teller Machines (ITMs) are perfect for rural Wisconsin customers, business owners, and farmers alike.

ITMs bring you the best of both worlds: self-service convenience and live teller support. Below, we’ll walk through the top reasons to use ITMs this season and show you how they fit into your busy life.

What Is an ITM & Why It’s Worth Knowing

Before we dig in, here’s a quick comparison to keep things clear:

  • An ATM lets you do basic tasks (withdraw cash, check balances, and maybe deposit small amounts).
  • An ITM does all that and more, with video access to a real teller, support for larger deposits, and help when you need it.

In many banks, ITMs can handle up to 75%+ of typical teller transactions remotely.

Top 5 Reasons to Use Ergo’s ITMs This Fall

1. Extended Hours = More Time for What Matters

  • ITMs are available for longer hours than most branch lobbies — think early mornings, evenings, and even Saturdays.
  • This means you won't have to rush to the bank between school drop-offs or after a long day at work.
  • Instead, you can use that extra time for family, tackling chores, or simply unwinding, while the machine handles your deposits for you.

Ergo Bank’s ITMs are open from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Saturdays. Our ATMs are also available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

2. Human Help at the Tap of a Screen

  • If you ever find yourself feeling a bit lost or uncertain, just tap and you’ll be connected to a real Ergo Bank teller through live video.
  • No more getting stuck in confusing menus or hitting dead ends, as you’ll receive support right when you need it.
  • This is especially helpful for first-time users or if you’re trying something a little out of the ordinary.

3. Envelope-Free, Hassle-Free Deposits

  • Forget about those old paper envelopes, just insert your cash or check right into the machine.
  • The machine will sort, count, and verify everything for you, saving you a ton of time.
  • No more stuffing, no more lost slips, and definitely no more lugging around piles of paper!

4. Bigger Deposits & Better Security

  • ITMs often let you deposit more than traditional ATMs, and if you need it, a teller can give you the green light.
  • Advanced security features (camera, encryption, privacy filters) help protect your transaction.
  • Plus, during the fall or winter months, you won’t have to wait outside in the dark or cold just to make a deposit.

5. Built for Busy People — Consumers & Businesses Alike

For Consumers & Farm Families

  • After a long day, stop by the drive-thru and drop off your check or cash, no need to step inside the branch.
  • Works great for side gigs, seasonal jobs, or those weekend earnings.

For Business Owners & Farmers

  • Make your evening cash drops without having to wait for the next business day.
  • If you’re managing farm income, event sales, or weekend markets, you can deposit sooner and keep your cash flow in check.
  • The teller interface allows for larger, verified deposits with local support right there with you.

Use Fall to Your Advantage

  • As budgets tighten in the winter, making regular deposits helps you stay ahead of late payments or unexpected expenses.
  • If you have holiday or year-end goals coming up, keeping your cash flowing is a smart move.
  • Try making a weekly deposit instead of waiting — ITMs make that super easy.
