Shared Branching, Making Life Easy for Our Members

It's here, it's there and it's everywhere!  Personalized service is a major benefit of banking at PTFCU, and you don't have to sacrifice convenience to get it.  Take advantage of PTFCU's shared branching services through CU Service Centers, and you can access your account at any of 2,300 credit union branches nationwide, often just as if you were visiting one of our own.

CU Service Centers' National Shared Branch Network links participating credit unions electronically, allowing credit union members to do "branch banking" even when the branch in question doesn't belong to PTFCU.  This is a huge benefit to PTFCU 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.

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 work with each other in ways that competing banks typically do not.  How can you tell which credit unions offer shared branching?  Look for the "CU Swirl" logo on the door of any credit union branch.  At a "CU Swirl" shared branch location you can:

• Make deposits and withdrawals
• Make loan payments
• Receive loan advances
• Access VISA® or MasterCard® funds (cash advances)

Many shared branches also offer transfers, statement histories, 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.

Access to shared branch is just another complement to CO-OP® Network's 25,000 conveniently located, surcharge-free ATMs.
