VIENNA, Va.- The $17-billion Navy FCU, the largest credit union in the world, has joined CO-OP Network, the largest credit union ATM network in the country. When Navy Federal becomes fully operational in the Network during the second quarter of 2003, Ontario, Calif.-based CO-OP Network said it "will be the official home for 28 of the top 50 credit unions in the country."

"While CO-OP Network serves credit unions of all sizes and types, an interesting trend has arisen in recent years- organizations with worldwide fields of membership, such as Navy Federal, are increasingly looking to CO-OP Network." Said CO-OP CEO Robert Rose. CO-OP has 1,165 credit union members, 16,000 surcharge-free ATMs and 12 million cardholders.
