The four credit-union branches, named and tested

The banked businesses row names four credit-union branches standing on the ground in the Granger CDP: Everwise Credit Union, Notre Dame Federal Credit Union, United Federal Credit Union, and Communitywide Federal Credit Union. The banked robbery test never named them, so the word "robbery" was never run against the institutions a Granger depositor actually uses. This pass ran it. The statute does not leave them out: 18 U.S.C. § 2113(a) reaches anyone who, by force and violence, or by intimidation, takes or attempts to take property in the custody of "any bank, credit union, or any savings and loan association," and § 2113(g) defines "credit union" as any federal credit union and any state-chartered credit union whose accounts are insured by the National Credit Union Administration. A robbery of any of the four branches would be the same federal crime, under the same section, as a robbery of a bank.

The four branches, as the directories and the institutions' own records place them: Notre Dame Federal Credit Union's Granger branch at 14535 State Road 23, Granger; United Federal Credit Union's Granger branch at 7514 Gumwood Road, Granger, opened in 2019; Communitywide Federal Credit Union at 52550 Fir Road, Granger; and Everwise Credit Union — the former Teachers Credit Union, founded 1931 in South Bend, headquartered in South Bend, rebranded Everwise in June 2023, with some fifty branches statewide — carrying a Granger branch among them. Each of the four names was swept against the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Indiana release record, the FBI's public record, and the South Bend Tribune's record for a robbery, an attempted robbery, or a charge arising at the Granger branch. The sweep returned no case for any of the four: no robbery at the Everwise Granger branch, no robbery at the Notre Dame FCU Granger branch at 14535 State Road 23, no robbery at the United FCU branch at 7514 Gumwood Road, and no robbery at the Communitywide branch at 52550 Fir Road appears in the court, press, or official record reached. The only Everwise hold-up item the sweep surfaced was a dispatch report of an alarm at 18 Providence Drive, Greenwood, Indiana, on 16 October 2026 — a different city, a different county, and an alarm, not a robbery seated anywhere near this ground. The credit-union count for the Granger CDP is therefore the same as the bank count: zero, tested branch by branch rather than assumed.
