Financial experts have been saying it all along but now it’s a recognized fact…”People looking for a low-rate, no hassle, easy-on-the-fees credit card may want to stop by their credit union.  The reasons are many – some cold and hard as numbers, others warm as relationships and communities.”  (bankrate.com)

Let’s talk about savings rates. Is your big bank or big credit union taking advantage of you by paying you low, low savings rates?  Saving is hard enough without putting your savings into a big financial institution that pays next to nothing in interest so they can build yet another shiny new branch.  Or so they can make big profits for their investors in Cleveland, Columbus, Defiance, or wherever else they are headquartered.

Did you know that if you add up the basic passbook type savings rates, calculated in Annual Percentage Rate, of the five largest banks plus the largest credit union in Lenawee County you still won’t equal what Lenco pays?  

Isn’t it time you pulled your cash from those greedy giants and put it into a savings account at a true Lenawee County financial institution?
