[9:10pm] Sayyida: same thing?
[9:10pm] Bosun: I was thinking Navey Credit Union - has the best national footprint and is a Credit Union.
[9:12pm] designanddraft: credit unions can choose to b in the national coop, there is an app, if u want to shop i can send it to u
[9:12pm] jokeefe: There seem to be branches near you. see https://www.bankbranchlocator.com/citizens-bank/

[9:14pm] designanddraft: i was a bit late too, i thought the irc would populate with what i missed, it does not

[9:14pm] Bosun: They are coop so all coop arms are in.
[9:15pm] Sayyida: sounds like citizens is a good match Bosun
[9:15pm] Sayyida: we are at half time

[9:20pm] Bosun: You need a branch.
[9:20pm] Sayyida: theres a branch in bayshore i thought
[9:20pm] Bosun: Different citizens.
[9:21pm] Sayyida: noted
[9:22pm] jokeefe: banks tend to be regional, so unless we choose a mega bank like BoA, Citibank or Chase, we aren’t like to find a branch in all the states we could need
[9:22pm] Pirate_Joe: the main point of use would be in Washington D.C.
[9:22pm] Pirate_Joe: So one that is there is more important than anywhere else
[9:23pm] designanddraft: the credit union coop is national, does someone have time to shop banking?
[9:23pm] Sayyida: I know there is a chase in DC, but I personally hate chase with a passion.
[9:23pm] jokeefe: agreed
