About an hour ago, I had an interesting discussion with the teller at my Credit Union. We talked about the differences between Federal Banks and Credit Unions. She then pointed out to me her calendar and a certain date was circled. It was the date that is planned for Bank Transfer Day which is being organized by Occupy Wall Street. I was so excited about this..
All I can say right now is that people that would like to participate in this should be able to. This is why the Federal banks better circle this date as well. Let us not have a sequel of the CitiBank situation, where about 30 bank customers were detained because they chose to close their accounts. The banks should let these citizens close their accounts, no matter what the reason. If the reason they could not allowed these people to close their accounts was because the bank did not have sufficient funds on hand, it should not happen this time. The date is there. They need to prepare. This will not be catching this off guard. They have plenty of time. No excuses.
Guys, please join in on Bank Transfer Day which is scheduled for Nov. 5. Circle the date. Get your money out of the Federal Banks and put your money into Credit Unions or a locally owned bank. If you are for #OccupyWallStreet and still have your money in the Fed., you must do something about it.
And let me just say one last thing. You will be very happy if you do. At the Federal Banks, you are a number. At the Credit Unions, you are a name. Who would you trust more with your money?
