I might be able to show up online if need be. I'm still much too sick and going through trauma to actually be in the space, though.

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.
