Last minute shoppers still looking for the perfect holiday gift, look no further than your local credit union. That’s right, I mean giving money as a gift. A recent survey conducted by Western Union and Wakefield Research found that more than half of the respondents agreed that they would prefer to receive cash more than anything else this holiday season.
So why spend money on a gift that might not fit or that they will return? The survey found that three-quarters of consumers have pretended to like a holiday gift they received. Giving cash as a gift can make last minute shopping stress free. With cash the recipient can do whatever they want with it and its always one size fits all.
So if you are thinking of driving to the mall or department stores to battle with other last minute shoppers, think about stopping by your local credit union to take out some cash instead. Maine’s credit unions make it easy to stop by any Shared Branching location, or stop by an SURF ATM and save by not paying a surcharge fee.
