I'm typically not a sentimental guy. I don't cry at movies. I don't reminisce about the good ol' days. I don't like puppies. (I'm more of a dog guy, but not little froo-froo lapdogs; just big dogs.) And I hate "power ballads." Nevertheless, I'm a bit bummed out because I just found out that my credit union is going to merge with another. Not only that, but my CU is taking on the other credit union's name.
Now I know that the branches won't change aside from signage and marketing collateral. The staff isn't going to change. Services will continue to be top-notch and it will be more convenient for me because of all the extra branches around town. Still, I'm bummed. Why? I'm not sure.
All this is to say that CUs make a difference. They impact their members and manage to create ties with them--even normal, everyday guys like me. Let's see BofA do that.
