A survey conducted by the Discover card brand has reported that the increased economic confidence that credit union members have shown in previous surveys has vanished.
"In December, 47% of credit union members said their finances are getting worse, an equal percentage with non-credit union members," Discover reported. "Six months ago, there was a five-point difference between the two groups, with credit union members expressing greater optimism, comparatively."
The survey also found that more credit union members rated their personal finances as poor in December (22%) versus November (19%). Although more non-credit union members also rated their personal finances as "poor" for surveyors in December, the gap between credit union members and nonmembers on this question narrowed from nine points in November to only six points in December.
