(86,776 posts)After finding how badly Wells Fargo reamed me for opening an account there, total mistake... so I took all my money out, back then I actually had some. And they charged me for that too. Been a CU member ever since, never had any issues either.
Guess I'll have to come up with something else for a present!

(10,893 posts)and it's aiite, except sometimes it is inconvenient to get to my money. What I don't like is that they aren't open 24-7, as they close at 5PM and are closed on Sundays and holidays. They also only have branches in the Bay Area as far as I know, which means I'll have to put my money somewhere else once I move upstate.
