Speak Up for Your Credit Union
 |
The not-for-profit Credit Union movement is regularly attacked by the banking and retail industries. If they get their way, many of the benefits that you enjoy as a member of SF Fire Credit Union could disappear – but you can help us fight back.
Right now Congress is considering legislation which would cap the interchange fee that a Credit Union recieves from retailers when you use the Credit Union’s debit or credit card to make purchases. Major national retailers such as Wal-Mart and 7-Eleven have been actively misleading Congress into thinking that interchange fees are simply “another bank fee”. The fact is that if interchange fees paid by retailers were reduced and could no longer support card programs, members could end up paying more to use debit and credit cards – or worse – some Credit Unions might no longer be able to offer cards at all.
