What is Shared Branching?
Shared branching is a cooperative network of credit unions that have joined together and created shared service centers across the country for the convenience of their members.

Shared branching allows WGE Federal Credit Union to provide office locations in cities where we don't have our own branch.

Imagine you are on a family vacation in Florida, when you realize you forgot to deposit your check and make your car loan payment. Just walk into any shared branch and conduct your business as if you were at WGE.

So, whether you are across town or across the country, you can access your money at one of thousands of shared branches!

Member Benefits
There are many benefits to being a credit union member, and shared branching adds to those benefits. Members enjoy belonging to a financial institution that feels personal, yet offers the same services as the national banks. In fact, some national banks don't offer as many locations as shared branching offers you.

Across the country, credit unions have opened their doors to members of the Credit Union Center network. So, you will still have the same, great, personal service you have come to expect from a credit union.

How Much Does It Cost?
There is no additional fee to use a shared branch.
