Hi Stacy – If you’re looking to build credit, ask the credit union about a credit builder loan. You put money into a savings account, and the credit union give you a loan secured by the savings account. You can get this loan even if you have no credit history. As you make repayments, the credit union reports to the credit bureaus and gives you a credit reference. It’s an excellent way to start building your credit.

I also want to start saving so I won’t have to live paycheck to paycheck. I make a ok amount but if I start saving. I would spend less. I really want to save so I can soon start a small business. I also want to be able to put something aside for my baby.

Hi Steve – There are a few people who think exactly what you do. Credit Unions are member owned, and loan locally, so they’re more like the local home town banks of old. I think there’s truth to what you’re saying.

I have a few bank accounts but research has shown me that banks are inflationary by nature, whereas credit unions bolster the local economy. I am, in fact, convinced that increased credit union membership could do a lot to boost the national economy, in general! So I’m getting rid of all my bank accounts – every one of them! – and becoming a member of one or more of the credit unions you mentioned here. Thanks very much for the great information!

Hi Danny – Open the account(s) with the credit union and tell them what you want to do. They’ll tell you what you need to do to make the change.
