It’s getting to be impossible to avoid AI…
Recently my bank started integrating one.
I can always use a local credit union, and I do for some things… but the high APY and other features are keeping me stuck with my bank…
A small thought experiment on public financial rails.
The recent failure of the CLARITY Act vote in the Senate creates a unique window for Credit Unions to build municipal transport layers under the GENIUS Act using multi-owner CUSOs.
Here is a blueprint for how a federated mesh of credit unions can act as a city's financial data layer without breaking NCUA capital rules:

#TruStage #Cyberattack Recovery Efforts and #Consumer Impact
Aug 26, 2026
"TruStage has been working to restore its operations following a cyberattack that occurred six weeks ago, affecting a significant portion of its technology infrastructure.
This attack has disrupted services across its credit union members and consumers, leading to issues like delayed insurance payments, inaccessible retirement funds, and complexities in processing life insurance claims. According to TruStage's Outage Tracker, core services such as GAP and mechanical-repair claims, premium payments, and annuity transactions remain impacted. The company is urging credit unions to continue gathering claims-related documentation for follow-up once systems are fully restored.
Consumer Concerns Amid Disruptions
Consumers have expressed frustration over these ongoing disruptions. Platforms like Reddit and Trustpilot are flooded with reports from individuals struggling to process life insurance claims, some of which have yet to be resolved, putting families in financial strain. Delays in claims for #FuneralExpenses and #DisabilityBenefits amplify the concerns of those affected. #CreditUnions, operating under these circumstances, face their own reputational challenges as they address member inquiries without direct control over the recovery process.
TruStage Recovery Efforts & Assurance
Despite the hurdles, TruStage assures stakeholders that recovery efforts are progressing. Chief Administrative Officer Greg Holman communicated that service operations are improving, with resumed call center operations and the reinstatement of monthly ACH consumer billing. Efforts to restore #retirement and wealth management services have seen most plan participants regaining access to their funds. Notably, no annuity or retirement plan assets were compromised."

With the continual consoldiation of BC Credit unions to entities that become larger and larger the service levels gets worse. All the promises of better service and better products are just blather in order for members to think that merging will be better for them. NOT.

#Banking #Outage Leaves Customers Without Account Access
Updated: May 2, 2025 By Robert Farrington
Excerpt:
"Banking Grinds To A Halt
"#Fiserv supplies the infrastructure behind many major financial institutions’ digital platforms. When its systems fail, the effects cascade quickly across the financial ecosystem.
"Banks affected include major players such as #Ally, #BankOfAmerica, #TDBank, #CapitalOne, #Synchrony, and #CitizensBank, as well as #RegionalBanks and local institutions like #NorthwestBank, #SunflowerBank, and #FarmersNationalBank in Ohio. #CreditUnions such as Navy Federal. Even money transfer service #Zelle appears to be impacted.
"Customers have reported a range of issues: locked accounts, unavailable balances, non-functioning transfers, and missed direct deposits.
"One IT staffer at a bank impacted by the outage shared on Reddit, 'It's been a nightmare. ACH files, Zelle, BillPay, and more have all been impacted.'
"Fiserv has not confirmed what the cause of the incident is. According to reports, the outage allegedly appears to have originated from problems with its core processing software (DNA) and related services like Nautilus (document and content management) and Payment Exchange (real-time transfers).
"While some functionality has returned for select services, many banks are still experiencing intermittent issues as of Friday afternoon.
"We reached out to Fiserv for comment but as of publication had not heard back. As of now, Fiserv has not released a public timeline for full restoration or details of the cause of the incident.
"This incident is more than just an inconvenience - it highlights how fragile the digital banking experience can be when so many institutions rely on a single vendor.
"Fiserv supports everything from transaction processing to statement delivery. When one system fails, it's not just a front-end website that goes dark. Payments don’t go through. Payroll deposits don’t arrive. Consumers lose access to their money."

Yeah capitalism has always been filth.
I think the time has passed for us to point out their hypocrisy. We've been doing it about #MAGA for 10 years now. They revel in how it annoys us. They think we're cucks.
We know they're irrational. They don't care. They don't think like us. Maximize shareholder wealth psychopathy.
We need #creditunions and #workercoops now! Fuck capitalists.

If you would like to support keeping credit unions’ not-for-profit federal tax status:
If you support #CreditUnions providing financial services in locations #Capitalist banks have abandoned and at lower costs please consider asking Congress to continue their not for profit status. Americans could lose their most trusted financial partner. #DontTaxMyCreditUnion

I would love to see #washingtonstate use regulation to encourage more #mutualistic #housing. City/county/state #statues to give tax breaks for #creditunions that provide #capital for #housingcoops to get started, #realtors to sell to cooperatives, support for super #local #coop #nonprofits. I don't know what that infrastructure is like, but am looking for it.

Happy International Credit Union Day!
The first smart financial choice I made was to ditch my bank and move to a credit union.
The next steps were saving 10%, reducing unnecessary expenses, conscious spending habits, getting out of debt, changing jobs, building an emergency fund, and investing.
Credit unions are non profits and typically have no or low fees for their services. Keep your money safe from bad banks!
