Sacramento area credit unions benefit on 'Bank Transfer Day'

Credit unions in the Sacramento region and nationwide cashed in during Saturday's "Bank Transfer Day," a month-old movement urging consumers to transfer their money out of banks and into not-for-profit credit unions.

"We had our biggest new membership day of the year," said Roy Worley, a spokesman for Sacramento-based Schools Financial Credit Union. "Forty-six percent of the new memberships were from individuals stating they came in Saturday because it was Bank Transfer Day.

"We also had a good number of existing members visit us and open new checking accounts because it was Bank Transfer Day."

Other local credit unions, which like Schools Financial touted extended hours, also reported brisk business.
