    Don't wait until November 5th to join a credit union. Every day is Bank Transfer Day!
  • Long Description
    Together we've ensured that the world will always remember the 5th of November as the day Americans stood in peaceful solida...rity to advocate for our communities. In the four weeks leading up to that date, 700,000 consumers shifted their banking business from corporate-level for-profit banking institutions to not-for-profit credit unions that strive to promote economic growth in our communities. We sent a clear message that conscious consumers will support businesses that focus on people instead of profit.

    Within the first year since our efforts began, nearly 6M Americans have changed the way they bank. We aren't finished. Please take the opportunity to tell your family & friends about the benefits of doing business with a not-for-profit credit union. Don't wait. Begin the process today. Every day is Bank Transfer Day!
