FI and i are getting married in under three months and are looking to do sign up for some joint accounts, specifically a savings for the $$ that we''ll likely get from the wedding. Since we''ve already received some cash and checks, we want to do this soon.
right now we both have checking/savings at different credit unions. we aren''t *too* concerned about finding a place for anything other than savings right now, and we figured that a bigger bank would give us a better return....but now i''m not sure where to go!
is it worth it to put it into a bigger bank (national city, tcf, 5/3rd, etc), and if so, which one? Are any banks that are stable right now still at risk? or should we just play it safe and keep it in our neighborhood credit union? we aren''t going to need access to the money for a couple of years, if that makes a difference.
TIA!
