Here a branch, there a branch, everywhere a Shared Branch!

Credit unions are not-for-profit financial cooperatives. It’s in this cooperative spirit that allows us to share resources to bring convenience, such as the Shared Branch Network, and savings to our members.

Shared branching simply means that credit unions share facilities giving you access to your Oklahoma Central accounts anywhere you travel. As a benefit of your Oklahoma Central Credit Union membership, you can enjoy more direct access to your money than most traditional banks, with more than 5,000 credit union branches in all 50 states.

International travel

Heading to the U.K. or Japan on business? No problem. Just download the Find Branch app for iPhones or CO-OP Shared Branch Locator app for Androids and use the international search feature to see if there is a shared branch near your destination.

School-bound students

Since the Shared Branch Network extends into all 50 states, locating one near your school is as simple as visiting co-opsharedbranch.org or downloading the Find Branch app for iPhones or CO-OP Shared Branch Locator app for Androids.

How to use the Shared Branch Network

Using a shared branch location is a no-hassle way of accessing your Oklahoma Central account when you are away from home. You do need to know your member number and have a current, government-issued photo ID in order to perform a range of transactions at any shared branch location:

  • Cash or check deposits and withdrawals to/from checking or savings accounts
  • Cash recognized payroll checks
  • Make transfers between accounts
  • Pay your loan
  • Purchase official checks
  • VISA cash advances (most locations)
  • VISA gift cards (most locations)

 

There are a few things that can’t be done at a shared branch location:

  • Accounts cannot be opened or closed
  • Non-members cannot cash checks drawn on participating credit union members accounts.

 

Don’t forget we have an app for that

Many of the transactions you do on a regular basis can be done from the Oklahoma Central app on your mobile device. Need to deposit a check? Use the Oklahoma Central Credit Union app and your phone’s camera to tap, snap and deposit the money into your account.
