Smart move.....credit unions ar SO much better than banks!

… until you have to do any sort of international wire transfer and you realize that the CUs rely on the banks for that. The banks still hold all the cards that matter.

Seriously, if anybody knows of a credit union that does its own international wires, I'd love to hear about it. Most of the time they flat-out lie to you and say "sure we do"… the only way to know for sure is to actually send a transfer and ask the recipient's bank for the origination records.

I think they went "private". Their new model is to go after big investors only, and I suppose that involves discretion and non-disclosure stuff, so they don't run a trading API any more.

Given some of the rabid trolls on this forum, I don't blame them honestly.

Easier to provide service to professionals than to rank amateurs.

Hey, is Tradehill even *ALIVE* ?

Why aren't they visible on Bitcoincharts ?
