Market USA participates in the CO-OP Shared Branch Network, giving you access to your accounts at over 5,600 branches at other credit unions around the corner and across the nation. From cashing checks and withdrawing funds to making a deposit or loan payments, members can conduct various account transactions just as if you are in one of our branches.
Unfortunately, there has been an increase in fraud with CO-OP transactions and locations. Due to the rise in incidents and in an effort to protect our members against any potential issues, we will be turning off Shared Branching on Monday, November 7, 2022, for members who have not used it within the last six months.
Haven't used Shared Branching, but want to have access? Please notify us so that we can turn on this service for you*.
Please Note: You must opt in again if you don't use this service within 6 months.
Shared Branching continues to be a convenient way to access your Market USA accounts. We are simply taking extra precaution to ensure our members' accounts are safe and secure - specifically those who do not use the service regularly.
When using a Shared Branch, remember to bring your account number and a valid government-issued photo ID.
* New members can opt in to the Shared Branch network 30 days after account opening.

Take these steps to foil criminals after your credit or debit card data when you fill up.
The national average gas price was $4.77 a gallon as of the first week of July, according to AAA. Depending on how big your vehicle's gas tank is, you're already paying what may seem like a fortune at the pump. But what if you had to pay even more, straight from your bank account or credit card, thanks to criminals attaching credit and debit card skimmers to the payment terminal?
Skimming can happen if you pay with a credit or debit card at a gas pump that has an illegal skimmer, a card reader that steals data from your card's magnetic strip. Gas pump pay terminals aren't the only place you may encounter a skimmer, either. Criminals also attach card skimmers to ATMs and other types of point-of-sale (POS) terminals, too.
Skimmers at gas pumps, ATMs, and POS terminals cost consumers and financial institutions more than $1 billion each year, according to the FBI.
Once thieves steal your card's data, they either sell the stolen data to other criminals or use your credit card number to make fraudulent purchases. If you don't check your bank or credit card account regularly, you probably won't even know that your card number has been stolen or used for fraudulent transactions.
Worried you could become a skimmer's next target?
Below are seven ways to help protect your credit or debit card data from criminals eager to swipe those numbers when you use your card to fill the tank.
When you insert your credit or debit card into the chip reader, your credit card number is more secure from being skimmed. "In the U.S., there are fewer devices that steal chip data vs. magnetic strip data," according to the FBI.
But even this method may not protect your card's data. That's because when you insert a chip card, you could become a victim of "shimming," where criminals insert a thin device called a shim into the card reader where you insert your chip-enabled card to clone the data on the magnetic strip.
At this point, shimming can't clone the three-digit CVV security code on the back of the card, so criminals may find it more difficult to use your card to make fraudulent purchases, according to major credit bureau Experian.If you pay for gas with a credit card and the card's data is stolen for fraudulent transactions, federal law limits your liability to $50. Most credit card companies go further with a zero-liability policy when the card is used for fraud.
When you pay with a debit card, you won't have that same liability protection, and fraudulent purchases with the debit card are deducted directly from your checking account. Even worse, if someone gains access to the PIN you enter, they also have access to your cash.We all love the convenience of paying with a credit card at the pump. But if you don't want to risk unwittingly handing over credit or debit card numbers to criminals via a card skimmer, the best protection is to trudge up to the station door, wait in line and pay the cashier.
While there is less chance that someone installed a skimmer or shim to the POS terminal inside, there's still some risk when you use your card. The only foolproof way to not get shimmed or skimmed is to pay cash (or using a mobile payment system) when you fill the tank.For more financial education information visit your KOFE Portal.
