Moving Our Money

While the official Bank Transfer Day has come and gone, it took our household a while to find time to move our accounts out of a big bank and into a small, more accountable institution.  Brooklynites have several choices for community banks and credit unions and it’s worth exploring your options.

We ended up joining People’s Alliance FCU, which allows membership to anybody who lives in Brooklyn (among others).   The woman who helped us open accounts said that they’ve been getting a lot of new business in the last few weeks, which was great to hear.

If like us you didn’t quite manage to dump the big banks by Nov. 5, take heart – it’s always a good time to move your money!
