What Banks Aren't Saying...
Banks are definitely not going to say this, but here are a few things they might be thinking...click here to read SmartMoney.com's "10 Things Your Bank Won't Tell You."
This list discusses quotes such as: "we change our interest rates all the time" and "your money might be better off elsewhere."
For credit unions, how does this affect relationships with members? Shout back at us and let us know your thoughts about this list.

This is a regurgitation of the same list Jim Rendon, the list's author, has been using over and over for a year now. What's old is new again (and again and again):

And then there are the others who use it as their "source of inspiration":

Maybe I should syndicate my columns. I had no idea you could sell the same story 20 times over.
Jeffry PilcherThx for your notes on this Jeffry! It is amazing to see how this story has been passed around. It was forwarded to me the other day when it was featured on Yahoo Finance with the original source being Smart Money. This was the first time I had seen it and thought it would make a good post by linking to it for others to read. Syndication would be a good thing. :)
Jenn Bills@Jenn - It would be neat to have a credit union start to use some of the articles on their web sites or in some of their communication pieces.
@Jeffry - thx for sharing your thoughts on this. Jenn is just getting into blogging and this was her first time to see this piece even though from your examples it has been used many times before.
With that said, as people continue to get into blogging, or the financial world in this case, there is a great chance that content will be recycled and reused.
However, it is sharing of these thoughts and ideas that make us all better. Even though these ideas may old to some, to others they are new and fresh.
