I no longer use banks Credit Unions Only

After 2009 I stopped using banks, mainly becase the banks will fee you to death, so slowly but surely I closed one account after the other, now I am a member of two CU's and love it. They are local and benefit the community.

10 years anniversary of our cu celesta

I'm an Indonesian people. I live in Depok, West Java. I learnt about CU when I was a young man of 25 years old. I just still believed that CU was a tool for improvement our economic needs. Because of the three principles to make CU still live. There are : self help, solidarity and education. So I am aproud of the CU movement and now can meet so many cu in others countries through internet browsing. These make me have nem change in my viewpoints. Like this : 'Not for profit' is not same with a non profit institution; CU seems similar with a bank. How make CU still familiar among the members as the owners and users. Tomorrow my CU will celebrating for it's 10 years anniversary. We have almost 600 members and assets 2,5 million rupiahs. Hopefully we can give contributions to our mankind all over the world, although we are babes. Thank's you very much for attentions.

Simple and easy

I just go in and get everything taken care of. At the bank they have to try to sell a bunch of stuff and I practically forget what I went in there for. It takes 20 minutues to go thru the sales pitch but not at my credit union
