RUN FOR YOUR MONEYS!

Let's buy it. I got 5k on it.
-
I'm like, immediately transferring my cash to my SunTrust account tomorrow.
-
:lol So are there are any more soon to be bankrupting companies left?
-
Yep!
IT AIN'T OVAH, BABY.

how bad would things have to become if Bank of America did the same thing?
-
Good thing I've already got all my money invested in videogames and DVDs.

I think Bank of America is in relatively good shape still.
These just aren't banks going belly up for the hell of it. All of these money grubbers were involved in subprime lending and the mortgage crisis some way or another.
-
Yeah, BoA just bought Merrill Lynch so I think they're good.
-
Time to go to the gold standard!
-
Bank of America is where I have my money wooooooo
My sports teams may suck, but at least I pick my banks right!
I hope

My friend just opened up an account at WaMu in the past year.
Owned.
-
why would one move banks? they aren't gonna block access to funds until they close the doors -- which they won't any time soon. your funds are also federally insured through the fdic. you'll wind up with another logo on your debit card, but moving yer money to a different bank is an unnecessary headache at this time.
-
We need a bank stock thread. It'd be like sales-age.
only it would kinda matter
-
I have like 1500 in wamu right now. It's just right around the corner so it was too easy. :'(
But it's all FDIC insured and you should be able to get that money pretty easily, from what I know of the system.
Prole, I had already created a new account on the East Coast because there are simply no WaMu branches here. I had been using the account to pay some debts and automated bills from. Since it's not easily accessible, it's been nice to stow money there because I can't easily access it.
I even have it as an External Account attached my to WaMu checking.
-
i really should move to a credit union, though. banks are lame.
-
Wells Fargo might survive this dark time in American banking, though!

Credit Unions :rock
I have all of my savings in a credit union. I have a BoA checking account, tho.
-
Can you guys please educate a former dirty poor like me as to the advantages of a credit union?
-
Put your money in Canadian banks.
-
Can you guys please educate an emerging dirty poor like me as to the advantages of a credit union?
Better interest I think

None. Credit unions are for anti-establishment socialists!

-
lol - if everyone pulls thier cash out of corporate banks, we are all fucked
Fuck, I know! Haven't any of these feggits seen fucking MARY POPPINS???
-
I'm pretty sure if you go on a bank run, you get your money and it's all good. God, you people are worry warts!
-
Then we go and blow it all on Slots
-
That's a good idea! Fuck you fuckers, I'm taking my cash to Vegas!
-
Im too lazy to bother, maybe someday lol
-
I'm glad for this thread, we have our account at Wachovia but we're looking for a new bank when we move to Brooklyn because there aren't any in Brooklyn. Now I know not to go WaMu. I think there's some Commerce banks there. Don't know much about them though.
-
i'm going to scream "i want to make a deposit in the anus fund!" and start jerking it all over the oldest lady i see

COMMERCE BANK FOREVER. Their interest rates are balls, but their day to day banking is so fucking fantastic.
-
I'm with WaMu. I'm gonna need to open a new checking account elsewhere if this keeps going.
-

Sweet, I'll definitely look into them, thanks broham. :-*

Their interest rates are like. 2% or less. But if you EVER have ANY problem, you will literally be on the phone with a REAL, HELPFUL person in under 30 seconds. The people at the bank are also nice, they have free lolipops and taffy and piggy banks and they all have baffrooms. Plus, they don't nickle and dime you on shit.
Downside is that there aren't a ton of them near me, but there's one in Union Square and one in brooklyn Heights/Cobble Hill (TRADER JOES NEXT FRIDAY THANK FUCK) for sure. I'm certain there are others, but I only know those.
-
Shit, 90% of my monies are in Wamu, and 10% in Wells Fargo. Am I in deep shite?
-
lol no one here then
-

I used to bank through BECU, but someone broke into my account and they refused to refund me the money.
We now use Wells Fargo.
-
Ugh what a fucking headache. If they close and I end up having to redo all my direct deposits and automatic bill paying, I'm going to be pissed.
same here. i hope they pull through.
-
sadly, i think the blame for this one can be laid at clinton's feet, who signed phill gramm's godawful new investing act in 1999 that let banks become greedy distinguished mentally-challenged fellows.
le me amend that: the blame can be laid at ayn rand devotee alan greenspan's feet.

lolbertarians: they never know when to quit with the free market voodoo.

my GF is WaMu. she was trying to get me to open an account a few months ago, but i was all like "i'm happy with wachovia" but now i see i need to put it all into USAA
-
We've known that Washington Mutual has been in trouble for a long time now here in the greater Seattle area, I figured everyone knew...
-
Is anything going down with PNC or are they just fine?
-
no
:usacry

over 100,000 in wamu.
sounds like a JRPG currency
I've had pretty good experiences with BOA, though I've heard horror stories from others. Maybe it's just that the women/gay guys at the local branch all like me a lot. :-*
-
BANK OF AMERICA :bow :rock
-
Will someone smart adopt me please?
they dont let gays adopt
-
I got all my money in Bethpage Federal Credit Union :rock
-
If Bank of America ever went under, the country would officially be toast. Maybe Canada would let us in. Doubt it, though. Who needs more filthy poors?

Maybe we'd be going to Mexico to work in their fields? I wonder what Lou Dobbs would bitch about then! His head would probably asplode.

North Carolinians sneaking into Mexico. Quite the reversal.

You're a smart lady!

I'm starting to get worried, I have a ridiculous amount of savings at one dutch bank.
I think I'm going to spread my money over multiple saving accounts at different banks. :-\

:bow Credit Unions :bow2

The US will recover from this. Keep in mind, we're not talking about the return to the 14,000 Dow days when it was that high due to speculation and smoke and mirrors tactics. It will need some competent leadership though and not a lolbertardian or a Neocon halfwit.
-
yeah, when this all settles, i am totally moving to a credit union
-
Just hide it in a sock in your top drawer!
-
lol. My wife works for the FDIC.
We hold our accounts at a credit union. Better interest rates, among other things.
-
Can anyone explain what's so great about credit unions? Possibly better interest rates and...?
-
No. Unless you have over 100,000 in wamu.
Oh, thank god. Seems being a filthy poor was the best decision I've ever made so far. :pimp

International Willcos will find a way to get their hands on your money.
-
Broad Generalizations, but...
CUs typically have higher interest rates, more favorable lending practices, a greater customer service mandate, more transparent fee structures, etc.
This is all broadstrokes, though, in both specificity and characterization of CUs as a whole
Biggest potential downfal: ATM in-network availability.

Credit unions are where the money is at.
