Walmart's effort to get customers to build up their savings accounts

CU member, and I'll mention one downside. Unless your credit union has a local branch, you will need to get used to all kinds of weird restrictions on what your satellite branch can do for you.

I just bought a car, and the satellite branch could only give me $1000 in cash. I had to beg the seller to take a cashier's check for the balance.

Sometimes the systems don't integrate well and so they have a hard time figuring out which account is which.

Finally, even though my spouse is listed as a co-owner of the account, there is very little she can do at a satellite branch (or even over the telephone to the main office).

Why don't you just close your account your CU and open up an account at the one closest to you? I have no loyalty to my bank. If I move and there's no branches around me, I'll just move to someone else that is local.
