Nearly 200 credit unions with more than 30,000 members in the high desert cities of Hesperia and Apple Valley, California no longer need to worry that their members will be cut off from shared branching. Quick action by Vons Credit Union, Financial Service Centers Cooperative, Inc (FSCC), Cardtronics, and a group of dedicated California credit unions ensured shared branching would still be available despite the recent sale of four Arrowhead Credit Union branches in the area...

In recognition and tributes, Ms. Bonnie Kramer EVP/COO at FSCC was recognized for being named VIP Woman of the Year by the National Association of Professional Women (NAPW). Ms. Kramer has had a long history with the Movement and nearly twenty years with FSCC, while her work with credit unions and other areas of the community are varied and dedicated.

FSCC celebrates the launch of the new credit union Shared Branching locator app on iTunes. The free app is available to download and offers over 6,400 locations to perform Shared Branching transactions. The app features the familiar swirl logo representing CU Service Centers® so members can be confident the app is authentic.

FSCC Shared Branching Network says during the last quarter of 2009 four credit unions joined the Network from three major markets including Midwest, Northwest, and West Coast.
