The $160 million, 21,500-member NuMark Credit Union in Joliet, Ill., found Bank Transfer Day to definitely be worth the effort, a senior manager said.

"We did 25% of our usual checking accounts goal for the month in four hours really. On a usual Saturday, we're lucky if we open two accounts at a branch."
Balog said all four of the credit union's branches were open as usual on Saturday and that its Countryside location in the southwest Chicago suburbs stayed open an hour later than usual to accommodate the business.
