question for Californians (and ex-Californians):
Does anyone have any experience with Provident credit union? I currently belong to Commonwealth but they are transferring some of their northern Santa Clara county branches to ownership by Provident as of Dec 1st. I can either stick with Commonwealth but have to drive all the way down to Union Ave in San Jose if I need in-branch service, or allow them to transfer my deposits, or I can say "screw you guys, I'm pooling it all at Wells Fargo until I figure out something else" (since I don't want to have all my money there for a variety of reasons). Any good stories or horror stories I ought to be aware of?
