Anncr:
Want a financial institution that can’t be bought by a
big bank?
Consider your local credit union.
It’s a financial cooperative owned by the people who join
and use it – so no bank can ever take your credit union away.
And the money stays right in your community.
Plus you get fewer fees, better service, lower rates on
loans.
It’s easier to join than you think.
The number’s in your yellow pages.
