CUNA estimates that since Sept. 29 (the day BofA announced fees),
650,000 new members have joined credit unions. To put this in
perspective, there were 600,000 new members joining credit unions in
all of 2010. So the past month has seen 50,000 more members than all
of last year.• Also during that time, CUNA estimates that credit
unions have added $4.5 billion in new savings accounts, likely from
the new members and existing members shifting their funds.
