Left traditional banking in 2018. Credit Union and online HYSA

Currently still holding a traditional bank but looking into credit unions and hoping to change by the end of the month :)

I just switched to a credit union this year. So far I like it, I even accrue a little interest with my checking account now.

[@PGRC123]

Thanks for this information! Yes, I’ve switched from BofA to a Credit Union. So glad I did! 😊

I use Canvas CU and I like it. Not a fan of Wells Fargo

[@galato4234]

How do you close a checking account. It looks bad on your credit report? thanks for the input.
