Credit unions are often a better deal than banks and tend to pay higher yields on deposits.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I like banks because they keep my money safe, but I don't want to talk about banks 12 times a year.
If credit unions can grow and prosper with a 15 percent cap, so can banks.
People with banking experience haven't all flocked to the biggest banks; community banks and regional banks, along with smaller trading houses and credit unions, have some very talented people.
Commercial banks are very good for certain businesses, like loans and guarding other people's money. They're not great investors or entrepreneurs.
The fundamental problem with banks is what it's always been: they're in the business of banking, and banking, whether plain vanilla or incredibly sophisticated, is inherently risky.
Banks are an almost irresistible attraction for that element of our society which seeks unearned money.
The advantage of online banking is that you can pay bills superfast, and your account is automatically credited or debited for each deposit and payment, making it easier to stay on track.
I have nothing against investment banking, but it's like massaging money rather than creating money.
I happen to know a bit about banking.
I'm all in favor of banks that play their part in community endeavors, private individuals looking for loans, people who want to start up a little business, and that's what banks are for.
