After a lot of thought, I’ve decided to move my money out of TCF Bank. The notion that my hard-earned cash is supporting those wingnuts over at Powerline finally became too noxious for me to tolerate in good conscience. I opened an account this morning at Affinity Plus Credit Union and the difference in service was immediately apparent. The person who helped me set up the account was quite pleasant and it felt like I was dealing with a real person rather than a corporate cog. I also like the idea that a non-profit is managing my money. I’m not thrilled about having to edit all of my automatic withdrawal information, but I can accomplish that on a Sunday afternoon. I think I’m also going to set up an interest-bearing savings account at one of those on-line banks like ING. If I’m going to do all that traveling I discuss here, I’d better start replenishing my funds.
