Credit Union Attack Ad

Tom Bengston of Northwestern Financial Review recently blogged about an offensive radio advertising campaign by Affinity Plus Federal Credit Union bashing the banking industry.

He states: "I wonder what comes of this kind of advertising? Do people really open accounts at Affinity Plus because it attacks banks? I find that hard to believe."

Bengston concludes that people "know an empty advertising campaign when they hear it."

    San Diego County Credit Union is also trying to foment protests and civil disobedience under the guise of satire. See their ad here ...
