The idea that you can bank with PrimeTrust Financial Federal Credit Union and go into a credit union in a different state with a different name and still do your banking with PrimeTrust Financial seems a little far fetched, but that is exactly what you can do with shared branching. Credit unions, unlike banks, are not-for-profit organizations which means they look for ways to work with other credit unions to offer their membership additional services and conveniences to benefit the member, like shared branching.
