Credit Unions

Credit unions are enjoying a surge in popularity as customers rebel against big banks. We get a primer on the services they offer and how they compare to banks.

As big banks incur the wrath of protesters across the country,customer-owned financial institutions are thriving. Credit unions have welcomed more new customers in the last two months than they did in all of 2010. We take a look at how credit unions differ from banks, who can join them and what they offer their members.

I love my credit union! The only problem I have had is any transaction with/about a foreign country. I could not buy euros and now I have a check from the Government of Canada that my CU will charge a $75 fee to cash!
