The co-operative spirit of People Helping People.
Shared branching is yet another example of credit union membership offering the best of both worlds—individualized attention and nationwide availability. The cooperative spirit of credit unions allows them to work with each other in ways that competing banks typically do not.
At more than 5,400 CO-OP Shared Branch locations in all 50 states, you can conduct transactions just like you would at your home credit union. That’s because Meridia is now part of the CO-OP Shared Branch network. Simply look for the CO-OP Shared Branch and CO-OP Shared Branch express logos. Finding the nearest branch or self-service location is easy with locator tools that include phone, mobile app and online through our website.

Are there cash withdrawal or cash deposit limitations at shared branch locations?
There are no cash depositing limitations at ANY shared branch service center. Cash withdrawal limitations are set at the shared branch centers discretion. Meridia will have a $2,500 cash withdrawal limitation to ensure adequate cash supplies to serve our members for transactions performed at a Meridia Branch for members of other credit unions. We suggest you contact the location where you wish to make a withdrawal for specific details.
How will holds be placed on deposits made at shared branch locations?
Items available for immediate cash availability include cash, treasury checks, state/government checks, postal money orders, Federal Reserve checks, and payroll checks under $2,500. All other checks will receive holds, regardless of their dollar amount. Holds will match Meridia’s existing Funds Availability policy. Since each credit union’s Funds Availability policy is different, guest members processing transactions at Meridia need to check with their credit union for any check hold questions.
