  1. I opened an account at a credit union (VanCity) in 2018 as an act of protest against Canadian Big Banks that profit immensely from their investment in fossil fuel infraustrcture.

    I guess a few other people did too… they're offering me a whole $75 to encourage others to sign up.

    I'll pay them 5 cents to stop harassing me.

  2. Until just a few years ago I had always banked with a #Canadian #BigFive #Bank. We switched to #InnovationFederal #CreditUnion, and it has been so much better. We are saving money on fees and making a little money by paying bills online and with membership rewards. Plus like all the smaller cities big sports infrastructure is supported by #IFCU out west. If you are renewing a mortgage, take a look at Innovation #CU.

  7. It has been about a year since we have moved from a #Bank to a #CreditUnion, and it has been great! #ZeroFeeBanking is awesome, we have saved at least $120 plus we have earned that is #MemberRewards
    Wish we had done this move 10-years ago. But, hey, in 10 years we will save $1,200 in fees and should have about $1,200 in rewards so, basically we will be up $2,400. Plus that is not including the slightly better rates

  8. Think you can’t be tricked by a fraudster? If it can happen to @pluralistic, it can happen to you. Long thread, but worth the read.

  9. Ugh. Gotta pay attention to everything always. Who's got time for that! This is outrageous!

    No, I shouldn't be surprised - after all, money is involved - but I am. Some are even spinning their fees as services to help economically disadvantaged people make it to the end of the month.

    Ugh, I say. Ugh!

  10. So yes, keep enough cash on hand to survive 2-3 weeks (if possible), but don't worry about yoinking out every last dime.

    If you're with a credit union, like I am, check that you're with an NCUA-insured #CreditUnion to know that you have similar protections on your money.

    Note that there are no such provisions for money market accounts. Those are unsecured account types.

  11. After you shut your valve to the #MoneyPipeline, you can choose to direct it to where it contributes positively to a livable #climate:

    “Your local credit union is often terrific, and very unlikely to be tied into the #FossilFuel industry.” (You can check the funding practices of your local #CreditUnion at Bank.green or Bank for Good.)

  12. Less than thrilled.

    #BigPublicTelevision had one of their minions post that one could watch #KenBurns film about #US and the #Holocaust if one had #PBSPassport

    After fighting with my #CreditUnion to allow the charge and waiting 72 hours to get my login, I find out that no, I could purchase it on DVD or Blu-ray, neither of which I own.

    Off to cancel my subscription - I'm not a watcher.

  14. Our local #creditunion is getting rid of #overdraftfees, which are primarily paid by people with lower incomes, and are an example of how expensive it is to be poor. Great job, Nutmeg State Credit Union! That's an awesome #equity action.

    #Sustainability isn't just #greenenergy and composting. We can't prosper as a society if only some people can benefit. We can't all strive towards a common goal if parts of our town are struggling to keep their heads above water.

  15. @syndikalista @mattcropp A #creditUnion was traditionally more ethical than banks, but there's a recent trend of credit unions putting their platform on #Cloudflare, which makes it both evil and untrustworthy. And #GABV isn't paying attention to it. git.disroot.org/cyberMonk/libe
