What to Know: CO-OP Shared Branches

To use another credit union’s branch, find a convenient location, and bring the required items:

  • Locate a CO-OP shared branch with the locator tool, the CO-OP app, or by calling 888-748-3266. 
  • Look for CO-OP logo at participating credit union branches. 
  • Bring valid government-issued identification, such as a driver’s license or passport.
  • Have your CRCU account number ready.

Ask the staff at the credit union you visit how to use shared branching. Identify yourself as a member of a different credit union, as you may need to use a deposit or withdrawal slip specific to shared branching customers.
