Every day is Bank Transfer Day   If you’re part of the 99%, you should do your banking here!   A message from Mark Freels, TCU Manager A lot of Americans are fed up with banks. First, the taxpayers bailed out the banks, and we’ll be paying the bill for years to come. Second, the banks continue to make big profits and give out big bonuses even as they foreclose on more and more homeowners. Third, the banks are now systematically raising fees on consumers. They’ve already made a joke of the term “free checking.”   Well, it’s no joke here at your credit union. Not only can you get genuinely free checking from us, just about every banking service you could need is either free or low cost when you choose to use Teamsters Credit Union. Sure, it’s a hassle to switch checking accounts, but isn’t it worth getting away from a big bank forever? The sooner you do it, the sooner you’ll be saving money. And you’ll stop supporting the corrupt banking system. That’s the whole point of Bank Transfer Day. The 99% of us who aren’t fat cats can help ourselves by turning to credit unions for checking, saving, and borrowing. It’s not just a great deal for you, it’s a great opportunity to show solidarity with your fellow Teamsters.   Tell your co-workers and family we’re waiving our $5 membership fee through March 31, 2012!   Why not ring in the new year with a resolution you can keep?
