I assume you're talking about the US?
- matwood 16y agoI have all of those with my credit union in the US. Heck, every bill I pay using online bill pay gives me rewards points typical to what using a CC would do. This includes paying bills where the credit union ends up mailing a physical cashiers check. All of the above with no charges, although they may have a requirement to have direct deposit set up.
- axod 16y agoThat seems like the exception in the US though. In the UK using cheques for anything is the rare exception. The plan is to phase them out within a few years, but already hardly anyone uses them any more.
- matwood 16y agoThat seems like the exception in the US though. It's the exception for banks, but credit unions are generally good to their customers. The few dealings I've had with BofA for example left me wondering why anyone would ever deal with them. At my credit union the people are friendly and when I used to go to a branch they actually knew me.
