Some Southern California credit unions are looking to benefit from the Occupy Wall Street and Bank Transfer Day movements.
For one, the $859 million First Entertainment CU said it was happy to hear that Kristen Christian, the Los Angeles art dealer who created the Bank Transfer Day Facebook page and chose Nov. 5 as the day, is moving her business account from Bank of America to First Entertainment.
"We are always pleased when we get mentioned in the press or online but this time was a real surprise," said Roy MacKinnon, vice president of marketing at the 58,000-member Hollywood credit union. "Kristen has been speaking with us about becoming a member and we are looking forward to welcoming her to First Entertainment."
