(Albany, NY) –Universal Sharing Network (UsNet) is very pleased to announce that Western New York FCU has joined its shared branching network.

The credit union, which was chartered in 1964 and serves in excess of 7,400 members, has joined as an issuer (a credit union that allows its members to perform transactions at CU Service Centers).

According to Marie Betti, president/CEO at Western New York FCU, “We are very excited to begin this new service for our members. We look forward to our members having the convenience of transacting their business where it’s convenient for them—whether that’s in their neighborhood, or while they’re traveling.”

“We’re pleased to have Western New York FCU as part of our shared branching network,” said UsNet’s Chief Operating Officer Marc Inger. “Shared branching is a cooperative effort, one that goes to the heart of credit unions’ ideals and their ‘people helping people’ philosophy.”

UsNet (Universal Sharing Network) has provided credit unions with a gateway to the national shared branching network since 1993. They are partnered with the largest network provider, CO-OP Shared Branching, which offers participating credit unions and their members’ access to more than 3,900 CU Service Centers both nationally and internationally.
