The following policies and procedures are used in shared branching outlets:Available Funds: Some funds in your account might be held by your credit union and therefore cannot be withdrawn at a shared branch outlet. For example, there could be a minimum balance on the account, or funds held until a check clears. Please contact your credit union to learn more about its hold policy.
  • Cash Returned to Members: The maximum amount of cash that you can receive might be different at each location; however, each location must make at least $500.00 in cash available to each member.
  • Check Cashing: Shared Branching Outlets cannot cash a check. Instead, the entire check will be deposited. Then, if funds are available, a withdrawal can be made up to the Available Funds. Your credit unions policy determines the number of days and dollar amount of funds held with the deposit.
  • Payroll Checks: A "payroll check" can only be processed as a payroll check if the member also provides a pay stub. Remember, your credit unions policy controls the available funds after depositing a payroll check.

Credit unions are a unique financial institution in many ways. They are unique because they are owned by you and all of the other members of your credit union. And, they are unique because they believe in and practice cooperation with other credit unions. Another example of the uniqueness of credit unions is shared branching, where the members of one credit union are able to perform transactions at the branch of another credit union. Credit union branches that are able to perform transactions for guest members of another are referred to as an outlet.
