I am not sure that I can make it to the meeting, but to make sure please
count my vote as: YES to switch away from IAFCU.

CCL is using WFCU as well. Seems OK - no
particularly bad or good
experiences to report. Only drawback is that they don't have all that many
branches, and you usually have to do major account changes in person at the
branch (downtown Oakland is probably closest for us).
I should be there this evening, but if not, I vote strongly in favor of
switching away from IAFCU, and lukewarm in favor of switching to WFCU...

Hey all,
Sudo did a straw poll last week to get the ball moving on this, but need
quorum to come to a decision about switching banks. It doesn't seem too
controversial to me, there aren't that many options anyway.

Long and short of it is that sudo's current credit union, Internet
Archive Federal Credit Union (IAFCU) is struggling to stay open. The credit
union members took a vote that was due Dec 8th about whether or not to
liquidate the credit union. Sudo Room did not vote on behalf of its
membership, but the evidence is pretty convincing that this is a failed
experiment and it's time to reorganize and try new things:

Western Federal Credit Union, is large, stable, now supports quickbooks,
and is where Omni Commons holds its main account currently, making payments
very efficient. It seems like a no-brainer, and I personally have not found
any more appealing options. For instance, Bank of the West is closing its
Temescal branch location, part of long-term closures, so there is no
obviously close credit union to our current location at 4799 Shattuck.
Finally, it'd simply be nice to see your faces at sudo tonight, just to
say hi and catch up, possibly before some of us go out of town for
holidays, etc.
