<prompt> Human: Hi everyone,So I am going to be transferring schools and moving to NYC for college soon im 21. I have had a credit union my whole life... I am under the impression that I need to find a bank to use in the city. I honestly have no idea what I am doing with this so anything will help. I am also signing up for the Chase Sapphire Preferred card; if you have any input on that it would also be great.Thanks : Edit: spelling corrections take 1  <response>: You should be able to do shared branching at another credit union, that is only if your CU is a part of that however. If they are you will need your ID, CU name, Account Number and then they may ask you verification questions. You should also be able to join a community based CU easily once you have either an offer letter for work in that area, lease agreement etc. Source: CU loan officer :
