I have a health savings account with Patelco Credit Union and just got this email today
I expect more banks, CU's, etc.. will be using this as a marketing tool
Dear Member,
Bank of America just announced that it will begin charging its customers $5 a month to use their debit cards for purchases—and that’s on top of monthly checking account fees that can range from $12 to $25, depending on whether you satisfy certain deposit and balance conditions.
And while the other big banks will likely do the same, we wanted to let you know that Patelco has no intention of charging you a debit card fee and our Free Checking account is just that: FREE
No monthly debit card or account fees with no conditions or restrictions
Free Online and Mobile Banking with BillPay
Free Overdraft Protection from your Patelco savings account
28,000+ free ATMs nationwide including those at Costco, 7-Eleven, and all Bank of the West locations
You already know the value of Patelco Credit Union for other products and services so what is stopping you from moving your checking account to Patelco today? We have everything the big banks do, except the fees.
