USA TODAY offers tips on switching to CUs

MADISON, Wis. (7/15/09)--USA TODAY offered tips Tuesday to consumers who have had enough of excessive bank fees and want to move their accounts to an alternative financial institution such as a credit union--which the newspaper said is a good alternative.

"Some community banks and credit unions are offering interest rates of 4% or more on checking accounts if you meet certain requirements, such as using your debit card at least 10 times a month."
