SOUTHFIELD, Mich. – Shared branching, the notion that members of one credit union can use the facilities of another credit union to conduct transactions through a shared branch network, turns 30 years old this month as the Service Centers Corporation, now a subsidiary of the CO-OP Network celebrates its anniversary.

"Although technology plays a large role in today's financial environment, branch locations help credit unions foster and expand member relationships," said CO-OP Network CEO Stan Hollen. "After 30 years of leading the shared branching charge, SCC has proven that shared branching is here to stay."
