Breaking up is hard to do. Or is it? Let’s face it, if your bank treats you like just another number or charges you fees for merely breathing, it might be time to move on. Finding a financial institution that aligns with your values and needs is easier than you think.
First things first – figure out why you’re ready to dump your bank. Some reasons to break up might include:
- Ridiculous fees: Monthly fees, ATM fees, “you looked at your balance” fees. You deserve better.
- Poor customer service: If talking to your bank feels like waiting in line at the DMV, it’s time to go.
- Outdated technology: If their app looks like it was designed in 2005 and crashes every time you try to pay a bill, you have options.
- Limited services: Maybe your bank doesn’t offer the mortgage rates or loan options you need for your future plans.
Now that you’re ready to move on, don’t sleep on Secured Advantage. Lower loan rates and fees, better member service, and more of a personal touch because, unlike traditional banks, we’re not-for-profit. That means we’re more interested in benefiting you, the member, than squeezing every last penny out of you. How refreshing, right?
