But see, that's the beauty of being a member of a CU that is a "Credit Union Service Center" (as is the Credit Union of Southern California). This is the one thing that was explained to us at length. Once you become of a member of a shared branch type CU you can go into any other shared branch CU "in the network"---SO-- we are going to go to this credit union: click here, to do all our business, this one is also known as the Disney Credit Union. That "shared branch" benefit is awesome!
So I'll ask, how many times do you really need to go into a branch office? 
About the only reason I do is I sometimes receive cash for some of the refereeing I do, and I just don't spend any cash anymore (I run my life through my cards now). While it's a smart benefit, I don't see where it's necessarily a godsend. Also, just because you can walk into any branch, doesn't mean that you're a *member* of those other credit unions necessarily. Generally speaking, the bigger the credit union is, quite often the better for anything beyond walk-in service... such as getting a credit card
