I like the idea of a less profit-driven business that is maybe more community-focused but I wonder if they have the same capability as a bank? Have you been able to do your banking needs at a credit union? Was the customer service decent?

    You can get over 1% currently now that the fed has the cental interest rates above zero. I mean its easy enough to not get interest. You can find checking accounts with zero interest even when rates are very high and you never need fear the 1099 then.

      Indeed I’ve seen basic checking accounts with no interest. Then the more feature-rich accounts which offer a number of perks at either a higher fee or higher requirements to offset the fee also include interest. That’s really backwards because an anti-feature is being bundled in. By giving up interest the client should get more features, not less.
