When the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement in lower Manhattan’s Zuccotti Park gathered thousands of dollars in surplus donations, its decision-makers agreed upon a deliberate strategy of placing those sums with the customer owned Peoples Federal Credit Union (Peoples).
In doing so, OWS adjusted itself with the principles of Bank Transfer Day. This is a separate movement the objective of which is to create a shift in banking attitudes among the American people in favour of taking deposits out of banks ‘too big to fail’ and transferring them to credit unions and bank like cooperatives that are much smaller and community oriented.
