Shared Branching: Your Credit Union, Everywhere You Go
Banking shouldn’t stop when you’re away from home – and with Shared Branching, it doesn’t have to.
Thanks to a nationwide network of participating credit unions, you can walk into any Shared Branch location and handle your finances just like you would at your local AmeriCU branch. Whether you need to:
You’re covered, coast to coast.
Nationwide ATM Network
Wherever you are, you’re never far from AmeriCU! With 20 Financial Center locations throughout Central and Northern New York, over 30,000 surcharge-free ATMs nationwide, and access to a nationwide Shared Branching network, we make it easy to connect.
ID Check Solutions
We take your security seriously. To make Shared Branching even more secure, AmeriCU along with all other Shared Branching Credit Unions, are introducing a new ID proofing measure for in-person visits to Shared Branch locations. This new fraud prevention measure allows us to make certain it is YOU trying to access your account, not an imposter.
If you’re using an out-of-state ID to bank at one of our Shared Branching locations, a Teller will authenticate your account access using a QR code and one-time passcode. Then, you’ll be banking in no time!
Here’s How It Works
1. Scan the QR code located in the branch or visit verify.coop.org.
2. Choose your credit union from the dropdown list.
3. Enter your member number and the last four digits of your SSN.
4. Upload a photo of your ID.
5. Take a selfie to confirm your identity.
6. Receive a one-time passcode (valid for 20 minutes) and show it to the teller.
Pro Tip: Save your validation for an even faster experience next time!
With Shared Branching and ID Check Solutions, AmeriCU is making it easier and safer than ever to manage your money from virtually anywhere.
