Nih Federal Credit Union

This place is super close to work and a few of my co-​workers joined. Since I do meet the membership criteria I thought I’d check it out. Also, since I got married I thought this might be a good option for setting up a joint checking account.
Although I just don’t really understand how married people do it and perhaps I’m just someone whose done my own thing for so long. But hey I guess it’s something I should do to make life easier in the long run.
So I walked in the branch which is fairly small. I speak to the manager who presents me with banking options. It was pretty straightforward and if I do my direct deposit through them I get a bunch of other benefits with regard to my account.
So with information in hand I let him know I’ll be back with the husband to get our account opened.
It also helps that if I need to do any banking it’s rather convenient for me to get to and make deposits and such. So I’m kinda excited for this change and then the hubby can eventually close his bank account where there’s fees involved.
Did I also mention I hate paying for anything when it comes to banking.
Update: So I wanted to do a little add on, I went back to open the account with husband in tow. It was pretty simple, as we had our paperwork filled out and a few other items that we needed to bring with us. They did explain though that any deposits (i.e. checks the funds would be held for 9 days), direct deposit the funds would be immediately available. Although the manager had informed me this was for the 1^st 30 days that the account is open. So just thought that would be important to add in should someone come across the review. I told my husband to keep his regular bank account open in the interim. I have direct deposit but he does not through his job.
