I cannot agree more. Maybe if you need some massive loan, you should go to a bank, but otherwise, credit unions are great. I love that I don’t have to pay fees for just having a damn account.
Might depend on the country though. I grew up where credit unions were really common and just assumed they were the best. I had to switch to something else cause I moved across the country and my credit union was only on western Canada. While shopping around, I realized that the big Canadian banks were offering way more than my credit union ever was. Plus their website actually felt modern.
Really? Of the credit unions I can join based on common bond they only allow savings accounts basically and loans but very good rates on loans. I hear that in Germany at least they give all the advantages of banks
Broader than a brand, but I think it fits here…
Everyone hates banks. Credit Unions are better in every possible way.

Been with my credit union for a decade and perfectly content

Well one disadvantage of credit unions is that you might not be able to get a debit card. Loan interest is usually way better though.
Huh? I’ve used 4 different credit unions, and I never heard of being unable to get a debit card.
