Its a mid-sized western Canadian institution so not in immediate danger of takeover and has in fact acquired some additional local credit unions in the past few years. <br /><br />When we purchased Gray Hawk I phoned our CU Manager (who worked for me before taking his current position) and he organized the transfer. I don't think there is any replacement for the human touch in the lifestyle we have chosen. If you fit the cookie cutter mould that banking (and all commerce) is built around, then a conventional bank will likely work for you. But if you choose to live differently from the average client then I believe you need some system that allows for human intervention. My advice plus 3 bucks will buy you coffee but my advice is to find an institution where your presence will be known and the minute that situation changes, move your accounts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
