Fee Increase Attempt Inspires 'Dump Your Bank Day'
suraj.sun writes with this excerpt from CNN Money: "Customers are dumping their banks in droves ahead of the nationwide 'Move Your Money' and 'Bank Transfer Day' movements this Saturday. Given the recent spotlight on attempts — and ultimate failures — by some of the nation's biggest banks to tack on new debit card fees, thousands of disgruntled consumers have already either left or pledged to leave their current bank for a community bank or credit union, which are known for having fewer and/or lower bank account fees. ... At least 650,000 consumers have already joined credit unions since Sept. 29, the day Bank of America announced plans to impose its controversial $5 debit card fee, according to a nationwide survey of credit unions by the Credit Union National Association."
What the hell is a check?
Cool art gallery, if you're into that sort of thing.
It's this piece of paper with money on it that you get for the first couple of weeks after you get a job. You'll see someday.
It's kind of like bitcoin, but without the constant anger over being sniped.
So, it's like a direct deposit, but printed out on a piece of paper ? Sounds very cumbersome and archaic.
