Fuck ya. Fight the machine! I've never been charged for anything at the banks I've used. Must be another crazy Cali thing.

Damn. I get charged $3 when I go under $100 in checking. My savings can be as little as $5 which is all it takes to open a savings at my CU.

Her CU doesn't have that either.

The big difference you have to watch for is some of the credit unions out there are trying to be big bank. Seems to be more common with your "federal" CU's than anything.
