    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.

      The $20/mo ATM fee rebate is nice.

      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.”

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