There really isn't a bank that's not compromised in some way, credit unions included. If you need to use one, just pick one that has convenience for you and stick with it. Actively manage what's in the accounts, and don't keep any more than you need to in the accounts.
Credit cards are all similar, but treat your card like a charge card (that is, it's a 30-day loan) and you're better off.
Great advice - thanks
Check local credit unions, that's what I use. I closed all accounts with big banks and PayPal.
If you have access to them, USAA is pretty solid. Outside of that, local credit unions can be good but you need to research and visit local branches.
USAA is becoming crap, they're slowly selling off every division they own (Insurance to Traveler's, Investment to Schwab)
If a famine happens, what things do you think will become scarce? Eg. ammo, Cigarettes, food, vegetable seeds, chickens etc.
Oh, absolutely, and when I can, I convert fiat into practical items like you mention. However, I only have so much space and can only rotate so much so I'd like to bank/union in the meantime, and since I also have direct deposit for my job, just curious what everyone thought.
Ally bank has been good . Also crypto freindly
