November 5th is right around the corner and there are a LOT of people looking to that date as a singular day to leave their big banks and transfer their accounts over to credit unions or community banks. We are thrilled that the news media is sharing the benefits of credit unions; but why wait? We think EVERY day should be Bank Transfer Day! Right now you can join a credit union, pay fewer fees, get better rates and have easy and FREE access to your money. After all, isn’t that what the organizers of Bank Transfer Day really want? Spurred by the announcement of a new $5 fee for debit card usage, Bank of America seems to have found the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back. From that announcement main street has risen up and started yelling, “WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH!”
Here in South Florida we heard you LOUD AND CLEAR. In fact we think not only should you have fee-free access to debit card usage, we also want to reward you for using your debit card, which is why we created Swipe Where It Counts!
Here’s how it works:
- Open a new checking account with debit card before April 30, 2012
- Swipe your debit card using signature option (not PIN)
- For every 5 debit purchases you earn $1
- You can earn up to $5 EVERY month through April 30, 2012!
- SWIPE AWAY
At Tropical Financial Credit Union we believe that GETTING $5 a month is WAY better than paying $5 a month just to use your debit card. If you agree, spread the news and make EVERY DAY Bank Transfer Day!
Anyone who lives or works in Miami-Dade, Broward, or Palm Beach Counties in South Florida is eligible to join Tropical Financial. Learn more at http://www.swipewhereitcounts.com/
