Don’t belong to a credit union? You may be missing out. While banks work hard to please shareholders and customers, credit unions exist solely for the benefit of their members  Today we’re joined by representatives from three of the biggest credit union related companies in the USA, who’ll give us the lowdown on the huge range of services they provide, share some surprising information about technology, and clear up misconceptions about how credit unions operate.

As always, that’s not all.  We’ll throw out the Haven Life line to save another lucky listener from a financial problem. We’ll share headlines, take your letters, and still have time for Doug’s trivia.

It’s a busy day in the basement.  Special thanks to  SoFi and Magnify Money for sponsoring our show!
