Bank TRANSFER Day November 5, 2011 (The MOVEMENT)

by The Daily Blender on November 4, 2011 in Uncategorized

While the Bank Transfer Day movement acknowledges the enthusiasm from Occupy Wall Street, the Bank Transfer Day movement was neither inspired by, derived from nor organized by the Occupy Wall Street movement, and the Bank Transfer Day movement does not endorse any activities conducted by Occupy Wall Street.

BANK TRANSFER DAY advises supporters to close accounts with banking institutions before November 5th in the same manner said accounts were opened: independently, with respect, without signage. Aggression & disruption don’t serve this peaceful movement. #louderthanwords #banktransferday

The Greatest Speech Ever Made by Charlie Chaplin

Together we can ensure that these banking institutions will always remember the 5th of November. If we shift our funds from the for-profit banking institutions in favor of not-for-profit credit unions before this date, we will send a clear message that conscious consumers won’t support companies with unethical business practices. It’s time to invest in local community growth!

• Research your local credit union options
• Open an account with the one that best suits your needs
• Cancel all automatic withdrawals & deposits
• Transfer your funds to the new account
• Follow your bank’s procedures to close your account on or before 11/05

Re-invest in our local communities through the transfer of funds from “big banks” to credit unions.
