Opt for Option 1 Credit Union

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) - Big banks are now holding a majority of the money saved in the United States, but choosing a larger financial institution may come with more fees than you want to deal with when money is tight.  

Jerri Schmidt of Option 1 Credit Union shares what the differences are between credit union and banking rates, fees, personal control and consumer advocacy.  

Credit unions can be easier on your wallet, offering 28,000 surcharge-free ATMs across the United States, all listed on the Option 1 Credit Union website . They can also use our new Mobile Banking app to locate a surcharge ATM.  We are affiliated with the CO-OP network.
