Shared Branch Services

Welcome to CO-OP Shared Branch through the CCU

You can now access your Collegedale Credit Union account at more than 5,400 branch locations around the nation!

We know how important it is for you to be able to take care of your financial business when you want, even if our branch isn’t nearby or open for business. Shared branching is ideal for members who travel on business or pleasure, have children away at college, or relocate out of state. For any situation, it is easy and convenient. That’s why the Collegedale Credit Union is now part of “shared branching” - through our partnership with other credit unions; you can conduct transactions in participants’ branches just as if you were at the Collegedale Credit Union.

A variety of services are available*
  • Deposits and withdrawals
  • Transfers between accounts
  • Account/loan inquiries
  • Loan payments
  • Money orders/gift cards**
  • Statement prints
  • Extended hours of access
*Additional rules may apply for you to transact business on your account.
**Subject to fees from the host Shared Branch.



All participating credit unions display the CO-OP Shared Branch logo. Just make sure to look for the CO-OP Shared Branch logo like the one above.
