Don't Use Banks For Your Banking

I too have always used a credit union. One thing I have noticed is I receive my payroll check by direct deposit and it is deposited 1 day earlier than everyone elses that uses a bank. I hope they don't catch on to this either! lol!!!

I LOVE our credit Union, my husband worked for a company that had one and even when he quit we still use them becuase they have been so good!

I use three credit unions, for various reasons. None of them charge a fee. True, that some banks don't charge fees, but you have certain requirements that you have to meet before you don't get fees added on (therefore not free). Some (one in particular) large banks even nickel and dime their employees!! Banks interest rates are a lot lower than credit unions (which isn't saying a lot as interest rates of anyone is low!). Not all credit unions require you to belong to anything. A few of them in our area require you to be a resident or attend a religious organization in this county or some other easily achieved requirement. I also use ING (online). They have terrific rates and is simple to use. For us this is a rainy day fund and we don't usually touch it. Hasn't rained yet I guess!

I agree. I belong to a credit union and my BF uses a regular bank. The difference is amazing. I will never use a bank again.

The bank I use doesn't charge any fees, so it isn't all banks.

My sister-in-law was a member of a credit union and on that alone we were able to become members. That might help somebody wanting to get in. She was a cashier in a grocery store.
