Three Cheers for CommonWealth One Federal Credit Union's free checking and fee-free debit cards
CommonWealth One Federal Credit Union offers free checking and fee-free debit cards, so if your current financial institution is charging you for these services, it's time to switch.
- Washington, DC-MD-VA-WV (1888PressRelease) November 05, 2011 - November 5th has been declared "Bank Transfer Day" and CommonWealth One Federal Credit Union is ready to help new members switch to their free checking accounts and fee-free debit cards! In light of current events with big banks, Bank of America and debit card fees, transferring your checking accounts to CommonWealth One is a smart choice.
Even though credit unions have been in the news lately, the public may not know exactly how credit unions differ from other financial institutions. While they offer most of the same products and services as banks-including savings and checking accounts, loans, ATMs and online banking, they differ in one huge way - credit unions are owned by their members, whereas banks are owned by stockholders and investors.
Since credit unions are cooperatives, any earnings generated over and above their expenses are returned to their members/owners in the form of competitive savings rates and lower loan rates. And many of their services are low or no-cost to their members.
In conjunction with "Bank Transfer Day", CommonWealth One is encouraging their current members to refer friends, neighbors and family members to join the credit union using a "Switch Ticket". This document entitles the new member to a "welcome deposit" of $25 when they sign up for checking, e-statements, a debit card and direct deposit. Referring members are entered into a $250 monthly drawing.
