Break Up With Your Bank
Are you in a bad relationship…with your bank? Did it lure you in with sweet talk and low rates, then turn around and raise those rates when you weren’t looking? Do you feel burned by having to pay fees, fees, and more fees, while the banks get bailed, bailed, bailed out? And don’t even get me started on the big bonuses executives at your bank got.
We need legislation that gets back bailout money and creates a Consumer Financial Protection Agency to provide the oversight that’s been missing for years—to give us back a little of the power in our relationships with the banks.
But there’s something else we can do in the mean time. Something you can do as an individual to get yourself out of that bad relationship with your bank, and that will send the message to the banks in a way they can understand: money.
A New Way Forward is giving you the information you need to break up with your bank and get into a relationship with a bank that treats you better, and won’t hurt the economy.
