How does Shared Branching work?

The national CO-OP Shared Branch network links participating credit unions electronically, allowing credit union members to do “branch banking” even when the branch near you doesn’t belong to Metco Credit Union. This is a huge benefit to Metco Credit Union members who travel, whose workplaces don’t coincide with our branch locations, or who simply enjoy the convenience of expanded access. Wherever you are across the country, chances are good there’s a shared branch near you. View our Shared Branching FAQs below.

What information do I need to bring with me to conduct a transaction at a CO-OP Shared Branch?

In order to conduct a transaction at a CO-OP Shared Branch you must bring your credit union name and member number. Additionally you must present a non-expired, non-mutilated identification.

What if I forget to bring my identification?

Current identification is required to process any transaction at a CO-OP Shared Branch.

What if I don’t want to provide the last four digits of my social security number?

CO-OP Shared Branches are required to ask for the last four digits of your social security number to help prevent fraud. You may want to write these numbers unmarked on your transaction form so the teller doesn’t have to ask you for that information out loud.

How long does it take the transaction to reach my account?

Transactions conducted at a CO-OP Shared Branch appear immediately on your account. There is no time delay.

How can I find a CO-OP Shared Branch?

What information can’t I get from a CO-OP Shared Branch?

CO-OP Shared Branches cannot answer specific questions about an account, conduct any type of lending, open new accounts or services, provide information or conduct transactions over the telephone, or order checks. Please contact your credit union directly for such items.

Is there going to be a hold placed on my CO-OP Shared Branch deposit?

CO-OP Shared Branches do not place holds on deposited items. It is your credit union that decides whether or not a hold will be placed. You received a “Funds Availability Disclosure” from your credit union sometime in the past, most likely when you opened your account. This document tells you about holds on deposits. Please contact your credit union with any questions you might have regarding funds availability.
