[CREDIT UNION NAME] ‘Opens’ 3,000 Branches by Joining Shared Branching Network

[YOUR CITY], Ohio (Month Day, Year) -- [CREDIT UNION NAME] has joined a network of credit unions from across the country that “share” more than 3,000 branch offices to provide the credit union’s [#] members with more convenient access to their money and accounts.

[Credit Union Name] is a member of the Shared Branching network, a fast-growing national and international network of credit unions that allow members of other credit unions use their branches to conduct basic teller transactions at more than 3,000 credit union locations nationwide.

Shared Branching locations offer many or all of the following services to members of participating credit unions:

• Make deposits (cash and checks)

• Cash personal checks on another institution

• Withdraw funds

• Transfer money from one account to another

• Obtain balance inquiries

• Process loan payments and advances

“With other financial institutions in the area merging to increase locations, we strongly felt the time was right to offer this unique service to our members,” said [CEO NAME], [TITLE] of [CREDIT UNION NAME]. It’s important to us to provide the best access and service possible and partnering in this nationwide cooperative allows us to do that.”

“We are proud to offer Shared Branching to credit union members from across Ohio,” said Marty Auxter, Management Consultant of the OCUL Services Corporation, a division of the Ohio Credit Union System -- the association that administers the Shared Branching network in Ohio. “It truly differentiates credit unions from other financial institutions when they are willing to work together to allow members access to their money, whether that member is across town or across the country.”

The Ohio Credit Union System offers a Web site at that lists all Shared Branching participating credit unions and locations in Ohio and across the United States.
