I call BS. I have accounts with three large credit unions, and the best account pays 0.55%.

That's terrible. They only pay 0.25% on $50k and over. GS pays more than four times that much!

Notice how the liar refuses to name the credit union.

Notice how many ACs didn't bother to ask.

So you are full of BS. They only pay 1/5 of a percent, except for tiny deposits. Why would you even post that? You just proved the GP correct.

Wow, that's pretty bad. They only pay 0.2% at the top amount. Why would someone open an account with them when GS pays five times that much?

Really? Bankrate.com lists the national average mortgage rate at 3.87% w/ a 30 year fixed, conforming loan. Patelco's current rate is 3.75% (3.822% APR) w/ no points. Chase is listing a 3.75% fixed, 30 year loan w/ 1.125 points at a 3.842% APR. NYU Credit Union is offering a 30 year, fixed, no points loan at 3.625% (3.650% APR).

So, yeah, credit unions can still be competitive... that's the reason why banks have fought tooth and nail to ensure that there are as many restrictions on membership as possible.
