Case Study: Altra Federal Credit Union strengthens branch and ATM security with Verkada Alarms

Altra Federal Credit Union strengthens 18 branch sites with Verkada

Altra Federal Credit Union, a member-owned financial cooperative with a multi-state footprint, faced challenges in managing its physical security across its distributed branches and ATMs. Their legacy system was difficult to support remotely, provided limited visibility into alarm events, and created significant maintenance overhead. To address this, Altra partnered with security vendor Verkada to implement an integrated platform featuring cameras, alarms, and access control.

By deploying Verkada's solution, Altra gained video-verified alarms, which provided immediate context for events and distinguished real threats from routine activity. This led to faster, more informed responses to incidents and eliminated the need for manual weekly camera checks by staff. The platform's proactive alerts and remote management capabilities strengthened ATM protection, helped avoid monetary losses, and gave branch leaders greater confidence and visibility into their locations after hours.
