BECU here is part of their ATM network, along with Safeway's machines. Note that the required ACH has no actual minimum amount.
I'm thinking $1.50 per Red Box video and a few cups of joe at starbucks should easily do it.
Having another choice for pin priority chip card (First Tech) besides UNFCU that doesn't have the 1% ISA fee that UNFCU has is a welcome new possibility. Even one bill pay meets ACH requirement, so no ACH deposit needed each month. Free ATMs (no reimbursement needed) at CO-OP and 7-Eleven ATMs.
Hope First Tech is actually pin priority.
