Personalized service is a major benefit of banking at Quaker Oats Credit Union, and you don’t have to sacrifice convenience to get it. Take advantage of QOCU’s shared branching services through CO-OP Shared Branch and you can access your account at any of 5,100 credit union branches nationwide.
How Does Shared Branching Work?
The national CO-OP Shared Branch network links participating credit unions electronically, allowing credit union members to do “branch banking” even when the branch near you doesn’t belong to QOCU. This is a huge benefit to QOCU members who live – or travel – outside of Cedar Rapids. Wherever you are across the country, chances are good there’s a shared branch near you.
