Credit Unions are really bad on the tangibles like locations, hours and range of products offered.
They are great for intangibles like not hard selling you on high management fee mutual funds or people that just want drop the call as quick as possible. Really just feels like you're talking to a real human being trying to help you.
How about online banking? Do credit unions offer decent experiences, or is it largely an in-person experience?
(Great username btw)
Almost all credit unions (as well as small banks like Canadian Western Bank/Motive Financial) basically all use the standard platform offered by CentralOne, so there's no difference. I love my credit union but the lack of compatibility with Flinks and Plaid creates frustrations sometimes (for connecting to Wealthsimple, etc.).
