They've closed two office close to me. Don't know about the one in St. Joe, nor of any closures in KCMO. We here in NEKS end up having to drive all over since they closed the one in KcK. I'm one of those who would have liked the option to change the account for my direct deposit. Right now, my CU is getting all benefits of the doubt because I can't easily change it. It sounds like we give up our rights and civil liberties as we get older and older.
