Credit Unions Are Great!

I haven't had much experience with credit unions before WECU, but I wish I had. The overall experience is that they're not trying to milk me for money, which is something I've felt when faced with overdraft fees or other monthly fees from other banks.

My wife and I have a joint checking account with WECU and we use it all the time. It has all the modern conveniences you'd expect from a checking account from a bank but without the fees. There are a lot of locations in our area, so if we need to take out cash for the taco truck its on the way ( and we go a lot ). I have direct deposit, and automatic bill pay. So what I'm getting is a easy, modern checking account without monthly fees. What else could I ask for?

Oh, and their overdraft fees are only 16 dollars. That's HALF of other popular banks. I mean it really boils down to this: I'm putting away my money and I don't someone leeching fees from me. That shows me that they really dont care about your inconvenience or about your money.

So yeah, if you can have a WECU account or some other credit union in your area, sign up.
