Money

[bertine]

gwangi and I have been having this conversation lately about where we should have our money when we merge our finances more.*

I have only ever "banked" at a credit union and Zach thinks we should go to a regular bank because he want more access to ATMs, branches and places to deposits checks.

What I like about the credit union is that I have had good customer service there in the 20 years I have an account there and they have handled my two mortgages, one of my car loans (the other one was with the dealer) and my credit card with them has a good interest rate and points that I use to get rewards.

I don't know what a bank does for you other than have a lot of locations and do shady things.


*I am not sure how much we are going to merge them yet but we are going to have some joint stuff and I am pretty sure we are going to put everything at the same "bank" because writing checks back and forth is annoying.

We're going to Trustone. They have an office right smack dab in the middle of the area we like to live in, which none of the others really do (they all seem to be downtown).
