San Francisco, CA – Public outrage over unfair bank practices and rising fees has prompted more and more consumers to consider switching to new financial institutions in search of better deals.  But consumers can face a myriad of obstacles that can make switching banks a hassle, according to a new report by Consumers Union, the policy and advocacy arm of Consumer Reports.

“Consumers may be fed up with their bank but they can encounter roadblocks that make moving their money a real headache,” said Suzanne Martindale, staff attorney for Consumers Union.  “Some bank policies are designed to make it challenging for customers to walk away.  That creates customer inertia and stifles competition, making banks less responsive to what consumers need.” «Read the rest of this article»

(CUNA), the nation’s largest credit union advocacy group.

Based on the responses of a nationwide survey of 5,000 credit unions, CUNA estimates that at least 650,000 consumers across the nation have joined credit unions since Sept. 29 (the day Bank of America unveiled its now-rescinded $5.00 monthly debit card fee).  Also during that time, CUNA estimates that credit unions have added $4.5 billion in new savings accounts, likely from the new members and existing members shifting their funds. «Read the rest of this article»
