ONTARIO, Calif. — Maryland's largest credit union, the $1.6 billion State Employees Credit Union of Maryland has become the latest CU to join the CO-OP Network, according to CO-OP Financial Services, the CUSO which owns the network.
SECU has 248,000 members, CO-OP said, and the Network has 490 surcharge-free machines in Maryland.
SECU said they joined because of CO-OP's recent deal with 7-Eleven that provides fee-free ATM access at 5,500 retail locations across the country.

"CO-OP's partnership with 7-Eleven is what ultimately sold us on the deal," said Hank Madera, SECU vice president of operations. "We provide our members access to more machines (91 ATMs) than any other credit union or ATM network in the local area. Now, 7-Eleven will supply 304 more locations in Maryland, where our members can withdraw their money."
"Another reason why we opted to add CO-OP Network ATMs to our comprehensive list of member benefits is because CO-OP's values parallel ours–throughout SECU's history, our focus has been to provide excellent service and fairly-priced, quality products and services for our member-owners. Since CO-OP is credit union-owned, we know it's an organization that understands our needs."
Founded in Baltimore in 1951, SECU is the largest credit union in Maryland and is ranked 49th in total assets in the U.S.
