Slate - Abby Ohlheiser: Polls Show Bank of America's Loss is Credit Unions' Gain


Polls Show Bank of America's Loss is Credit Unions' Gain



One survey suggests credit unions gained 650K customers after BofA announced its now-canceled debit card fee.

Just how bad was the backlash from Bank of America’s now canceled plan to charge $5 a month for debit card use? 
Two new polls provide some indication that the institution’s highly criticized move may have sent hundreds of thousands of customers fleeing to credit unions. And it’s not even Bank Transfer Day, yet. 
A new survey from the Credit Union National Association found that credit unions have gained at least 650,000 new customers since September 29, the day Bank of America announced the new debit card fee. As the Los Angeles Times notes, that’s more than the 600,000 customers who joined credit unions during the entirety of 2010.  
By the association's tally, deposits into those new savings accounts totaled $4.5 billion, which, according to Reuters, is more in deposits than credit unions typically get from their entire customer base in a month.
A second poll by Harris Interactive highlights the disparity between customers' loyalty to the respective financial institutions. Nearly 90 percent of credit union customers said they were extremely or very likely to stick with their current institution, compared to only 40 percent of BofA customers. Other big banks didn't fare much better: Only 46 percent of JP Morgan Chase's customers and 54 percent of Wells Fargo/Wachovia's customers indicated a strong intention to stay put.
Was a $5 monthly fee really all it took to send customers fleeing? Critics of the big banks say not exactly, it was just the tipping point.... READ MORE: http://slatest.slate.com/posts/2011/11/04/bank_of_america_customers_fleeing_to_credit_unions_polls_show.html?wpisrc=newsletter_slatest

Older and younger generations

I do not really enjoy being a wet blanket with respect of Occupy Wall Street. The country is in a very bad way, and the protesters are trying to call attention to very real problems. To the extent that they can prove that a constituency for economic reform exists, they might shift the political process somewhat, although I suspect the White House feels sure it has that constituency in its pocket already and need not worry too much about it. Yet I continue to feel that the rhetoric of many protesters has an all-too familiar ring, and that the state of the nation has led them into the same dead end that too many of my contemporaries encountered more than forty years ago: a belief that nothing less than a complete transformation of a hopelessly evil society will suffice. Since such a transformation is neither possible nor really desirable, I worry that the results of OWS, like those of the "student revolution" of my youth, will be largely negative.
