MODERATORS
They have 86 million people just giving them piles of money. They use that money to lend and invest and then reap all the profits. They incentivize those people to take loans from them and get credit cards through them, because when you already have millions of people entrusting you with their life savings, it's easy to upsell them.
And now, just because they have caps on their bullshit fees, they want to charge people for the privilege of handing over all that free money? Fucking genius right there. No way that will backfire.
Banks are awful, find a credit union, never deal with this kind of bullshit again (probably).
Does it cost money to use an ATM with a credit union?
In the states most all of your credit unions are part of a co-op network and will allow you to “withdraw for free” from any other atm at a credit union. However most credit unions will also cover the atm fee you pay at other ATMs. Check with them as you apply. If you’re in California and have a way to join it, I’d recommend Schools Credit Union.
That's actually pretty nice
It is the best. Also, in the event someone gives you misinformation. Credit union accounts are insured as well for up to 250,000 just like regular banks, however they’re insured through NCUA rather than FDIC. even my parents who are well off and very intelligent even thought that credit unions weren’t properly insured. 🙃
Forgetting about using the ATM’s 711’s to for free
Not for me, either. BECU in Washington state. In fact, they reimburse my fees from out-of-network ATMs, so more flexible than a bank -- I can use the crummy ATMs in the corner in the 7-11.
No. Not for me in Canada. And I can use ATMs of any of the other credit unions for free too.
They’re being petulant and looking to punish their customers. They’re hoping the next time the “Gub” tries to regulate them people will remember rates went up after and push back on government regulation.
They make money hand over fist. How DARE someone “take something from them” when they’re owed everything!
Line must go up, and rate at which line go up must go up!
