In September, members of Technology Credit Union voted resoundingly to reject a proposal to convert their institution to a mutual bank.
According to a member of the San Jose, Calif., $1.6 billion credit union, nearly 18,000 members voted in the balloting, with approximately 4,000 voting in favor of the proposal to become a mutual bank and 14,000 voting against. The credit union has about 70,000 total members.
