Trick or Treat? Shared Branching is here!

Personalized service is a major benefit of banking at Somerville's Credit Union, and you don’t have to sacrificeconvenience to get it. Take advantage of Somerville's Credit Union’s shared branching services through CO­OPShared Branch and you can access your account at any of 5,100 credit union branches nationwide, often just as ifyou were visiting us.

Shared branching is yet another example of credit union membership offering the best of both worlds—individualized attention and nationwide availability.  The cooperative spirit of credit unions allows them to workwith each other in ways that competing banks typically do not.  Visit www.co­opsharedbranch.org or download theShared Branch Locator app for iPhone or Android to find branches nearest you. You can also look for the “CO­OPShared Branch” logo on the door of any credit union branch.  Many shared branches also offer transfers, statementhistories, money orders, traveler’s checks and notary services.  Since services vary from one location to another,check with individual branches before your visit for a complete menu of available services.

The national CO­OP Shared Branch network links participating creditunions electronically, allowing credit union members to do “branch banking”even when the branch near you doesn’t belong to Somerville's CreditUnion. This is a huge benefit to Somerville's Credit Union members whotravel, whose workplaces don’t coincide with our branch location, or whosimply enjoy the convenience of expanded access.  Wherever you areacross the country, chances are good there’s a shared branch near you. 

Look for the CO­OPShared Branch logo to findshared branches near you.
