The new network comprises more than 1,700 credit unions, 4,400 branch locations and 2,200 kiosks in 7-Eleven stores, the company said.
Sarah Canepa Bang, CEO of 21-year-old FSCC since 1999, will continue as president and chief operating officer of FSCC and chief strategy officer of CO-OP Shared Branching, the company said. The leadership team also includes Craig Beach, president/COO of CO-OP subsidiary Credit Union Service Corp.
CUSC and FSCC will now be under the CO-OP Shared Branching business line, said Stan Hollen, president/CEO of CO-OP Financial Services.
