Sorry for this very brief opening post, but the issue at hand is important enough to justify the use of an opening thread to get to the solution to
this problem.
Many people are going to transfer to Credit Unions across the world on 5th of November, and we here in SA want to jump on the bandwagon (though up
here we often still use the ox-wagon lol:
:lol
to do the same.
However, I have searched and searched but have not found any Credit Unions up in my neck of the woods.
Any South Africans know of credit unions in SA? Or what will be our best option be after that?
What I have found is SACCO:
www.saccol.org.za...
.....but they really do not seem proficient for this purpose. I copied and pasted the text below from their products and services section, so this
tells me it is not really adequate to keep your money in as it seems they have not yet got these things in place.
"A well established SACCO would begin to look at developing products that a conventional bank has to offer including:
•Access to ATMs
•Stop order facilities
•Automated bill payments
•Full range of insurance products
•ATM debit Cards"
Komaan, ouens, wat is ons opsies??
