A private organization that finds ingenious ways to steal your money which you are forced to use to get your paycheck. Provide nothing of value and when they make mistakes they ask the public for a handout instead of their directors bailing them out like any other normal organization.

A financial institution designed to nickel and dime its members to no end. Banks complain about Credit Unions (CU) because they are "not for profit" and subsequently do not have to pay taxes. However despite the competitive nature of banks and credit unions, banks have not suffered any loss in profit. On the contrary, banks have enjoyed record breaking profits increasingly each year. Banks will always be finding new ways to take your money to increase their profits so all the bitching about credit unions because they don't have as many fees is just whiney suck ass for them.
Examples of Bank Fees:
Application fee
Activation fee
Teller fee
Drive up fee
Balance Inquiry fee
Balance transfer fee
Account opening fee
Account closing fee
Check cashing fee
Checking account monthly service fee
Savings account monthly service fee
PIN setup fee
PIN change fee
Lost card fee
advising fee
issuing fee
confirmation fee
amendment fee
acceptance fee
Negotiation fee
Brokers fee
Check cashing fee on checks drawn on same bank.
ATM withdrawl fee
ATM deposit fee
Participation fee
Self overdraft fee from savings to checking.
IRS refund anticipation loan fees (up to 1,700% APR)
when do the fees end? Banks need MORE Credit unions to compete against. Credit unions have their own stupid fees but with the amount of interest saved in most loans, it's worth it to investiaget both.
