6. The Adam Zyglis one was me 3 years ago

When my too-big-to-fail bank hit me with excessive fees (and I had been their customer for over 20 years, including mortgage, checking, savings, credit cards), I closed every account there and walked my money down the street to a credit union.

Never looked back.

I wholeheartedly recommend the same action for everyone who is eligible to join a credit union.

7. Welcome to DU, Fritz Walter!

Glad you're here! Credit unions present a VERY viable alternative, seems to me. Wonder what would happen if we ALL did that?

9. Thanks, I feel welcome here

It would send a very powerful message to the greedy bank board members, officers and shareholders, wouldn't it? And fun to watch!


Perhaps it would lead to real reform. But the banks are fighting CUs tooth and nail, especially their non-profit tax status.

10. Check out this article from the Motley Fool

While it doesn't address the naked greed and corruption rampant in most banks, it does outline some significant differences between banks and credit unions.
