Bank Branch In Manchester Could Get Drive-Through Upgrade

MANCHESTER, CT — A credit union with deep roots in the area wants to modernize its drive-up services in Manchester.

Manchester planning officials said this week that a Planning and Zoning Commission application has been submitted for a "Form-Based Zone Detailed Site Plan," for improvements, primarily consisting of upgrading the existing ATM machines to VTMs at 304 Broad Street.

That's the address of an American Eagle Financial Credit Union branch.

A VTM is similar to the traditional automated teller machine but it features real-time, face to face conversations with a teller via a video link.

Established in 1935, American Eagle Financial Credit Union is a full-service credit union headquartered in East Hartford.

It has branches in Hartford, Middlesex, Tolland and New Haven counties in Connecticut and Hampden County in Massachusetts.

No timetable has been posted for formal review.

Here are the plans:
