Bank Fees Indianapolis

USA Today reported that bank earnings hit a five year high in 2011. In fact, 2011 was the most profitable year for banks in the past five years. 63% of banks reported improved earnings, and only 19% were unprofitable.

What do banks do with these profits?

What's the difference between a bank and a local credit union?

Our Indianapolis credit union is a not for profit financial institution. Profits made by the Credit Union are returned to Credit Union members in the form of lower loan rates and better deposit rates. Profits are also returned to local Credit Union members in the form of lower bank fees Indianapolis or free services. 

Since credit unions are owned by their members, they are not obliged to return profits to stockholders.

The next time you visit an Indianapolis bank location, ask where your share of the profit is. At an Indianapolis Credit Union, you'll know.

"When banks announce the implementation of new fees, public reaction can be quite volatile and result in customers voting with their feet."

Consumer Reports recently published an article on upcoming bank fees that consumers can expect to pay in 2012. If you want to save on bank fees Indianapolis, consider becoming a member at an Indianapolis Credit Union.

Here's an excerpt from the article detailing what industry experts think you will see in the coming months:

• Fee hikes and tougher account requirements will probably continue, especially while the economy remains weak. For example, some banks, like Chase and PNC, are now charging a $25 fee even to close certain accounts.
• Customers with a lot of accounts at one bank might avoid some fees, but they're not immune. Banks may try a spectrum of charges even for good customers, including fees for paper statements and higher safe-deposit costs.
• You're more likely to find lower fees and better rates at community banks, larger credit unions, and online institutions.
