I'm leaving SF to travel around the US for 6-12 months, which means I need to switch off the local credit union that I'm currently using. I may as well choose something that will work for the indefinite future, including whereever I land next (it will be in the US).
Any recommendations? I'd prefer an organization that was less culpable for the financial crisis.
- AaronM 11y agoIs your credit union a member of CO-OP? this allows you to bank at any credit union in the nation that is a member. Some stuff can be challenging, like getting a loan, or getting a replacement bank card immediately. I'm living a state away from mine, with very few problems.

- balls187 11y agoThe OP wrote "leaving SF to travel around the US." I read "SF" to mean San Francisco. Also, I usually have better luck overseas with my credit union visa card than I do with my credit card (since I know the PIN for my checkcard).
- morgante 11y agoIf you're looking for a checking account, I highly recommend Charles Schwab. They've always had excellent customer service, a pretty modern tech presence, and best of all you can use any ATM anywhere in the world without worrying about fees—they'll reimburse you for any fees charged.
