650,000 New Members Have Joined Credit Unions via @anonops_

By Op Cash Back on

CUNA estimates that since Sept. 29 (the day BofA announced fees),650,000 new members have joined credit unions. To put this in perspective, there were 600,000 new members joining credit unions in all of 2010. So the past month has seen 50,000 more members than all of last year.• Also during that time, CUNA estimates that credit unions have added $4.5 billion in new savings accounts, likely from the new members and existing members shifting their funds.

      Using a community bank is as effective as using a credit union.

      I found a good listing of credit unions, too. http://www.creditunionsonline.com
