What is a Credit Union Co-Op Shared Branch?
A Co-Op Shared Branch is a facility that is part of a national network of participating credit unions. This network allows participating credit union members to conduct most business as if they were at their own credit union branch.
You can utilize the Service Locator to find the locations, phone numbers, and hours of operation for Co-Op Shared Branches located throughout the United States. You will have to go inside the Co-Op Shared Branch to perform transactions as the drive-thrus generally cannot be used for Co-Op Shared Branching transactions. You will need proper identification (picture ID) and your Savings Account number. Other transactions can be performed by phone or by fax request through one of our branches.
