Mine turned me down for a small loan despite the fact that I was employed at the same place for 5+ years, had a savings and checking account and no credit card debt or car payments. Why? Because I'd had a bankruptcy about 8 years prior. They were just like a bank in that regard. And they also send me a ridiculous amount of offers for insurance and other things I don't want or need. I still use them for convenience like payroll deductions for savings but they're no better than a bank, to me anyway. I’m not as big a fan of credit unions as you are.
