Brooklyn sees rapid growth in credit unions
`Brooklyn Coop’ has over 8,000 members
Erika Saleedo sits behind the clear glass wall at the Brooklyn Cooperative Federal Credit Union. A customer walks in and hands Saleedo a deposit.
In the course of the transaction, Saleedo inquires about the customer’s children and their new school. The customer grabs his receipt, shakes Saleedo’s hand, and starts walking out. “Have a nice day! “ says Saleedo. “And say hello to the kids.”
