      I was struggling to understand that for a long time too. It seems like it’s a mix of being told that just saying no is not polite and an aversion to conflict. Especially when stating needs.

      Some parents actively discourage their children to state their needs clearly and concisely from a very very young age.

      Sure, that’s fine in IRL. It fails on any kind of discussion board though, at least for anything not as comically egregious as “give me your banking details.”

    Well, they’re a credit union and have branches in quite a few places. Not too certain about their corporate structure, but I’m reasonably sure it’s within nominal terms for a CU. They have what I would consider to be competitive rates for lending, credit, and savings, generally better than what you’d find at a commercial bank. They also have money market and investment options, too. Their customer service is par excellence, and I’m quite satisfied with them.
