Passionate about shared branching. Passionate about credit unions.
InNetwork is a CUSO (Credit Union Service Organization) located in Lakewood, Colorado, near Denver.
You may know us as CU Service Network (CUSN). We’ve been around since 1992, when our President/CEO and founder Doug Burke launched the CUSO to service shared branching credit unions and service centers in the Rocky Mountain region. We are one of the original super-regional shared branching CUSOs, and the largest in the nation.
Our History
Back in the 90s and early 2000s, we focused on assisting credit unions in the surrounding states with shared branching and service centers for members. In the 2000s, we expanded our services to offer a variety of delivery channel products, like mobile and online banking.
Over the past five years, our CUSO grew significantly and diversified its product line to offer a variety of outsourced and collaborative services. No longer just doing business in Rocky Mountain states, we expanded coast to coast.
In June of 2020, CU Service Network was split into two unique organizations. At this point in our organization’s journey, it made sense to create a CUSO dedicated to shared branching servicing. This allows greater efficiency, flexibility, and opportunities for partnership with other like-minded Shared Branching CUSOs.
The new organization, called InNetwork, is an operator of the CO-OP Shared Branching network, headquartered in Lakewood, CO. We provide service and support to regional credit union clients and a variety of support services for other independent networks operating throughout the United States.
