NEW YORK (MainStreet) -- Occupy Wall Street has dominated headlines for the past few weeks, with advocates and critics jaw-boning over whether it was government or Wall Street that fueled the financial crisis (here's a vote for both).

But even critics can't argue about the growth prospects of the "occupations" taking place in urban centers across the U.S. Now comes an offshoot of Occupy Wall Street that takes aim at banks where it hurts them most -- in their vaults.

Debit card fees of $5 a month from Bank of America are among steps leading to a "Bank Transfer Day" protest with a Nov. 5 deadline.

The social uprising -- called "Bank Transfer Day" – encourages bank customers to take their cash out of big banks and put it in smaller banks and credit unions instead. The movement is ostensibly in response to aggressive fees institutions are rolling out to recover profits lost from new financial regulations, notably Bank of America's(BAC _) decision to stick debit card users with a $5 monthly fee and Wells Fargo's(WFC _) $3 test of the same… http://www.thestreet.com/story/11274526/1/bank-transfer-day-a-protest-with-your-money.html

Community Banker Today: “Bank Transfer Day” Gaining Traction on Facebook

Community Banker Today http://communitybankertoday.com/top-news/entry/1/871

OCTOBER 13, 2011

A social media–based campaign, started by a disgruntled customer, to transfer bank accounts from big banks to credit unions is growing. More than 30,000 people have signed onto the "Bank Transfer Day" Facebook event page, which instructs participants to transfer their accounts on Nov. 5 from large banks to local credit unions.

ICBA is taking the opportunity to remind reporters and consumers that community banks are a great, hometown banking alternative. As part of its "go local" movement, ICBA is encouraging consumers to realize the litany of benefits associated with community banks, including a relationship-based banking experience and superior customer service.

ICBA also continues to offer its Community Bank Locator to help consumers find a community bank in their area.

Bank Transfer Day

The continuing saga of the crusade against the vampire squids… I’m just saying…

While everyone was distracted by what Charles Krauthammer delightfully described as, the “Starbucks-sipping, Levi’s-clad, iPhone-clutching protesters (of the Occupy Wall Street movement who) denounce corporate America even as they weep for Steve Jobs, corporate titan, billionaire eight times over…,” a new social uprising term has entered the public discourse. Saturday, November 5 is “Bank Transfer Day.”

According to the uprising’s meager beginnings on Facebook, created by a small business owner, Kristen Christian, 27, a small art gallery owner in Los Angles, citizens are encouraged to take their money out of the blood-sucking vampire squid mega-banks and put it in smaller community banks or more specifically, credit unions.

Ms. Christian owns “Le Spec,” an independent art gallery. She spoke for many when she answered a question from Jen Doll, in a Village Voice article: Why did you decide to do this?

“Mostly just, I was tired. I was tired of being charged bank fee after bank fee after bank fee… When they decided to react so negatively to the Durbin Amendment, that made me sick…”

As opposed to the Occupy Wall Street protests, which appear to be a mobocracy of themeless, clueless anarchists on holiday, Bank Transfer Day has a well-defined and articulated goal, with a specific action plan.

Even National Public Radio, which never met a leftist cause it could not wholeheartedly support, with our tax dollars, could not fathom what the Occupy Wall Street protestors were trying to say…

Much of the mainstream media and leftist Democrats want you to believe that Bank Transfer Day is an offshoot grass-roots effort spawned by the Occupy Wall Street anarchists-without-a-clue.

Nothing could be farther from the truth...
