Another thing I’ve found about the credit unions in my area are
that although there are fewer ATMs for your specific credit union,
most credit unions will allow you to use any credit union ATM with
no fee for withdraws (not sure how deposits would work) whether you
are a memeber at that credit union or not. Which almost makes the
availability of ATMs the same or in some areas better than a bank.

I am on the board of a small credit union and I’d like to make some other points about credit unions. We know our members and are often able to steer them to products and services that will save them money. In addition, most credit unions today have online services which, in most instances, compensates for the small number of branches we have in comparison to banks. Many communites now have credit unions which now have Community Charters which make it very easy for residents of a community to become a member.
