In reply to the discussion: do you bank with a Credit Union? [View all]Atman
(31,464 posts)9. You looked at a very bad credit union.
I finally left TDBank when they raised their minimum balance on standard checking to $250. Drop below that and they charge $15. Fuck that. I went to a state credit union...no fees, part of the huge NYCE and SUM ATM network, online bill pay, online account management. The only hassle was having to remember all my old passwords so I could change the automated payments from my old account. Credit Union rocks...you just visited a shitty one. I've never heard of one as bad as what you posted.

You need to shop around for other CU's. Ours has free checking, free ATM's, low apr C cards etc.
