Just curious because this looks like a neat CU.

It appears to be very geo-fenced:
Those who live, work, worship or attend school in the counties we serve (Brevard, Volusia, Orange, Seminole, Flagler, Osceola County, Indian River, Lake, and Polk County)
Immediate Family Member of an existing member.
Apparently, I live in the geofenced service area. The nearest branches are nearly an hour away by car. I looked through the product offerings on the website, but I don't see anything worth the drive. <shrug>

I may call them this week.

Let us know how it turns out.
I saw some offerings that looked good, including a low interest platinum card with no balance transfer fees or cash advance fees.
I live right down the street from one. Their offerings are rather weak so I never opened a membership. I do, however, use the branch as a shared location for my Affinity FCU account.
Oddly, my other local CU that's about 35 minutes away (Addition Financial) and has decent products, also uses Launch as a shared location.. but charge $10 per transaction.
So, I just end up using Affinity because of the free shared branching at Launch down the street from me.
