Star One is a good credit union - 4* rated. Their Saving account rate used to be (and still is!) pretty competitive with money market accounts. Not all CU are financially that strong - some of my local CU are 2* rated (Redwood CU, Addison Ave). I am located in the North Bay and the local banks are suffering too - the largest ones are 2* rated only. I agree that FDIC insured banks should be regulated more and their banking business should be completely separated from other activities (capital markets etc.) and run as completely different organizations under a holding structure, or even better with no ties whatsoever. I agree that end of the TAG program is a sign of normalization.
