Today I opened a new account at a local credit union.
I've got an account at Wells Fargo... and it hasn't far to go... away. I called a local credit union, confirmed I could open an account with them, asked a few questions about online banking and ATM use. I was happy with the answers I got, so I headed on over and opened a new set of accounts in person: money market and checking. But I first checked over at Open Secrets to make sure they weren't doing any weird lobbying I wouldn't approve of.
Yes, I'm participating in Move Your Money by Occupying a Credit Union. Read a few little details after the jump.
