Nuumskee, that would not work with Wells Fargo checking. They're charging $10 a month just for a basic checking account, whether I write a single check or not! And it's the same with TCF.

When I opened my TCF account, student checking was free. Now it's $10 a month. That's mostly why I'm moving my money. And also it's what I can do as part of the Move Your Money protest.

Hey everyone, when you’re done moving your money from big banks to small ones, move on from “The Huffy Don’t Post” as well to punish the website for its cowardly censorship policies. When I recently used The Huffington Post’s own figures to create my “Joe Averageguy” analogy, which argues that the overall global temperature has leveled off since 1998, The “Huffy Don’t Post” deleted my comments and removed my profile, Xarkonul. Please see my YouTube channel (Xarkonul).

I bank with the same bank I use, when my dad bought his house he asked about a interset only loan. To which the loan officer said "That's an incredibly stupid idea" he went "Uh?" he went "Your going to take on a $150,000 debit and your telling me you never wanna pay it down and then in 15 years write a check for $150,000?" he went "good point" pointing out my dad hasn't even lived ina place for more then 15 years, so yea. This is a small bank BTW which is doing good right now

Keep an account open at the big bank but only leave around 50.00 in it in case u need some last minute change and arent in a area that has ur credit union ATM. I have 2 Credit union accounts and they are great. they gave me a car loan at 4.9% years ago, approved me on the spot and printed up a check right then for me to go to the dealership with.

[nuumskee]

Yes, I think so... my credit Union didnt engage in subprime loans at all. they gave me a 5.6% rate a few years ago when other banks were giving people with good credit 7% and up mortgages. They even call me on the weekends if somethe weird shows up on my account. but my back is a Federal Credit union so maybe its pretected because its Federal

Bankers werent the ones that failed. They are fired if they fail.

Politicans....i dunno about you, but how would you work knowing that ever 2-4 years your career could be over?

Lawyers are fired if they fail. They usually dont though.

audadvnc: a) That sounds terrible. I'd hate to have my bank bought up by a bigger bank.

That's one of the risks I'd worry about.

Are credit unions safe from this?

b) Yeah, me too! Arianna's...well...somewhat older than I am, but she's quite intelligent, and pretty, too!

[1000Demons]

It amazes me how, even now, there are banks who act like they had nothing to do with this.

You confront them with these FACTS and they still won't admit it.

Fuck the big banks.

If you fail at another job - imagine you're a mechanic, or a cook, or a builder - and you fail, YOU WOULD BE FIRED!!!

If you fail as a banker, the same rules should apply.

Same with politics, same with law.

I'm sick of these white collar criminals.

Nice to see there's an alternative to put the pressure on.
