zatoth, exactly what is the rule change that Obama is supposedly doing to hurt the credit unions. Please inform...

lovemycu, exactly correct....compare the amount the FDIC has paid out for failed banks (billions) compared to the amount the NCUA has paid out for failed credit unions (almost nothing), that should tell us the real situation on risk and stability.

i have a local bank and they all know my name and are great with lending and have low to no fee's. i don't know of any local credit unions that do picnics. i still like your first video on this subject the best.

Not that I want to take away from what you have stated but usually it's how you use your account affects your fees. I work for a CU and fee free banking is available as long as you use it appropriately.

credit unions rule. obama is trying to kill credit unions by forcing them to give up their capitol and affect their ability to serve you. most credit unions fared well in the first part of the financial crisis but are now suffering because the government wants to kill your ability to save money or have options that protect your life savings.

this was soo fun !!!!

lovemycu (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

I have to correct some inaccuracies is whitingc's posts. CUs DO pay taxes, property, payroll, local, etc. They do not pay corporate income tax because they are not-for-profit. They are fulley insured by and REGULATED by the NCUA. In fact, they have greater restrictions on them than banks in many ways. Earnings are returned to members becuase they are also its owners. No high paid CEO and a Volunteer BOD.By the way, lots of banks' "ships" seem to be sinking. So which is the safer intitution?
