Competition Strong For Savings and Loans
New York AP reports a surge in in-plant banking as banks expand on the job to vie with credit unions. Bank plans, begun in the West by Bank of America, spread to about 300 banks with 200 more ready to join. The movement targets workers who rarely use banks, with unions and payroll offices hosting services. Credit unions grew to 12 million members, with assets about 5.6 billion dollars, while loans rose to 4.3 billion. Banks offer on-site deposits and loan forms, leveraging low costs and tax benefits to attract wage earners and compete with unions.
