The problem is finding them. I’m still chained to a credit union in another state years after I moved, just because I cannot find a local credit union in my city that will accept me. Plenty of ones for teachers, cops, firefighters, and veteran’s, but they won’t let a Joe Shmoe with an office gig store money.
You could join an online credit union such as Alliant Credit Union. It costs $5 for a membership that they’ll pay for you, though there are other options that you can easily join yourself for membership.
Have you tried talking to them? Almost every credit union I’ve talked to had some loophole type thing to join, like “Donate $5 to this organization, and now you fall under X.”

The $20/mo ATM fee rebate is nice.

Wild! I’ve got nearly 20 in my metro area to choose from. I assumed that was the case in most populous areas.
