So even when you're far away from WEA Credit Union, we're always by your side, ready to service you through one of our CU Branches® partners.
What is a Shared Branch?
The CO-OP Shared Branch network is a team of credit unions united in helping members easily fulfill their banking needs, no matter where they are.
At CO-OP Shared Branch locations, credit union members can perform transactions at other participating credit unions just like they would at their usual one, with the same service and convenience.
What Can I Do at a Shared Branch?
At any CO-OP Shared Branch, WEA Credit Union members can:
- Transfer and deposit funds
- Withdrawal money
- Check your account balance
- Receive in-person assistance with banking needs
- And more.
Do Shared Branches Have ATMs?
If the shared branch nearest to you is closed, don't worry. The CO-OP network has more surcharge-free ATMs than almost any other bank—including ATMs in common locations like 7-Eleven®, Costco®, Dunkin Donuts®, and Walgreens®—giving you 24/7 access to your CU1 accounts.
At CO-OP ATMs, you can:
- Check your account balance
- Withdrawal cash
- Deposit cash
- Cash or deposit checks
- If your debit card has the CO-OP logo, you can use participating ATMs without paying a cent.
How Big is the CO-OP Shared Network?
The CO-OP network has more than 6,000 branches from coast-to-coast. This is more branches than most big banks. There are also more than 30,000 CO-OP ATMs.
Since WEA CU is part of the CO-OP network, members have as much or more direct access to their funds than they would with traditional banks, while still receiving the level of service they expect from a credit union. For example, visiting Maui, Hawaii, and need some cash? The CO-OP network has 8 shared branches and 3 ATMs nearby.
How Do I Use a Shared Branch?
To access your account at a shared branch, all you need is:
- The name of your credit union
- Your account number
- A government ID
