- 2002 CUNA research shows that the average member lives within a 5.1 mile radius of his/her preferred financial institution (bank or CU) branch
- Not even the largest CU can afford to put up the brick and mortar necessary to fill the demand
- Sharing branches allows CUs to offer significantly greater convenience and grow without building branches
- CUs that open their branches to other credit unions earn income and maximize their existing brick and mortar
