Regarding your question about credit unions. It depends on if NAvy Fed offers shared branching, and also if your credit union participates in shared branching. But even if you can do transactions there, if Navy Fed is asking for members only for their shops, then you need to be a member of Navy Fed, not just a member of any credit union.
Harland does shops all over the U.S., though they tend to concentrate on smaller community banks and credit unions.
I work for a credit union and manage all of our marketing research programs, including our mystery shop program. We use Harland to administer our program. We are in the NW. We prefer members of our credit union but do allow non members as well.
I have to chuckle at "crappy credit union" I am super curious which one!
